  • Abstract:  Say you needed a small PC with low power requirements to install inside a car or even inside a PCs drive bay. Well, friend, you should consider $300 VIA’s Artigo Pico-ITX. This tiny thing out-minis the Mac Mini and can run fast enough to put some of yo...

  • Smallest desktop PC weve seen, by a long shot; easy to build; quiet operation
  • Accepts only SO-DIMM DDR2 RAM; RAM limited to 1GB; no Vista support; only minimally customizable; no optical drive; included dongles cant be used without modifying the case
  • Employing technology designed for embedded systems, the Artigo Pico-ITX PC Builder Kit lets you assemble a computer tiny enough to fit in a conventional PCs drive bay. Customizability and performance are lacking, but small is what this PC is all about...

  • Abstract:  L'Artigo de VIA a la taille d'un disque dur externe et le poids d'une boîte de thon. Dans ce boîtier de 300 grammes, on trouve de quoi assembler un nano PC basé sur une toute petite carte mère au format pico-ITX (semblable à la VT6047) et un process...
