MSI Windbox, Vesa mountable computer

With all the variety available in Desktop systems, there has never been a cheap, low power All-In-One system available. The main reasons for this have historically been:
1. Early on there was no such thing as a cheap system with any ability to speak of.
2. People like being able to upgrade their systems, so the traditional tower has reigned supreme for a long time.
3. No one really thought of it.
The MSI Windbox fills a space between the iMac and the Eeepc. It is a Vesa mountable system with a 1.6ghz atom processor, 1-2gb of ram, 160-250gb of hdd, and b/g wifi. The system supports 7.1 surround sound, three usb ports, and comes with Windows XP home. Best of all, it has no fans! It weighs half a kilogram. It is expected to be available for $258 later this year.
