This review is from: MSI Wind PC Intel 945GC Barebone
Pros:
Really quiet; I left it on all night even and it didn't wake me up :-). I installed a 500GB drive and loaded XUbuntu 8.04.1 onto it first thing. Seems like all components were supported automatically. Sound works. Video plays full screen without lag (640x480 DIVX files, stretched to 1600x1200). Plenty of USB ports. Small footprint. Internal SATA and power wires were perfect length for one HDD and CD-Rom. nice and clean.
Cons:
I got exactly what I was hoping for, so no cons.
Overall Review:
Something like this would really benefit from internal wireless.
It looked like there was an extra usb header near where the face plate (power switch, leds) plugs into the board.
I probably didn't look at the specs closely enough, but had assumed that this would use desktop ddr2 memory. It uses notebook ddr2.
