FS: Minature Desktop Computer (3.8" High)

Garethman!!` · 04-07-2008, 10:42 PM

I have listed another Micro-Desktop for sale on eBay, priced at $509.99, This is unlike any other PC I have found on eBay, measuring just 8.0"x3.8"x10.7". It is a Micro-ITX computer. Also, there are 5 available!

The computer spec is

VIA nanoBGA C7 Processor

1GB of DDR2 System Memory

250GB SATA Hard Disk Drive

DVD-ROM/CD-RW Slim Combo Drive

6x USB 2.0 Ports

Windows XP Home Edition SP2

Dual 10/100/1000Mbps Ethernet
TV Tuner with Remote Control

3 Audio Ports

how does that processor compare to a core 2 duo?

Erm, its probably not as fast, I am presuming it would be around the speed of an EEE PC.

Performance wise I don't see it being anywhere near a Core2. The via chips are low power chips as well, and most compete with the Celeron M chips IIRC.

They aren't going to be a powerhouse, but it will do its job, and do so without a huge power draw.

So is VIA a large company? I've never heard of them. I always thought AMD and Intel were the only consumer processor companies

VIA usually make the processors for systems which are as energy efficient as possible. They're quite big, Everex use them quite often.

I made a listing error, from what I believe, it is actually 1.5GHz, not 1GHz. Also, it is 22nm in size.

Via makes many low end chipsets, and some extremely low powered CPUs. It's a pretty good desktop if you have a TV tuner in it.

Via really hit their niche with the extremely small boards and low power draw. Nano-ITX and mITX and such are extremely small, and you can fit systems in extremely small rigs/spaces.

They are a good company and make good products. They don't aim to be up there with AMD/Intel. I've been thinking about getting one of their board/cpu's for a sff build, but I will have to pass on a prebuilt. But very cool that he put all that into such a small package.

I have been thinking about a TV Tuner, infact, ill add one to sweeten the deal a bit.

edit:
Just added a TV tuner, and put that small case back on after finding out that the TV tuner will fit into the small case.
