Oh, and I think that ASRock barebones seems a little expensive, don't you? $349 for a low-powered barebones?


Really, the name itself... maybe so.

The MSI Wind PC nettop is $135, ~40%.
I spent $120 for mine, then added a slot load dvd with frame for $80 and a HD for $100. Total $300.

The ASRock borebones has a pretty large advantage, spec wise over the MSI.
Nor is it completely bare, it includes a 320gb HD and a "DVD super-multi slim" drive.
About all you need to add is software. For the upgraded specs $350 seems a good deal to me.
