MSI WindBOX PC to blow away opposition?

The MSI WindBOX: A PC that can piggyback your monitor. Genius!

Check out the MSI WindBOX. It’s a PC that’s so small it can piggyback your telly like Yoda on Luke Skywalker’s back, so you can keep your desktop cluttered with empty coffee cups and, ahem, important documents.

Following on from the MSI Wind, the WindBOX looks set to be a real rival to the Eee Box. Okay, it’s not the most potent machine, but then neither is the Eee Box. What you do get is an Intel AtomTM processor N270 1.6GHz processor, 1GB on board memory, Wi-Fi support, a 3-in-1 card reader, a VGA port and three USB slots.

The only snag is, your monitor will have to be compatible with the WindBOX’s VESA wall-mount interface. But once it’s hooked up on the back, you and your friends can ply “hunt the PC” all you want.

Breezing into our stores this Spring, the MSI Windbox will also have a price tag of around £199. If that doesn’t blow you away, we don’t know what will.
