MSI has been showing off a series of nettop and all-in-one computers combining low cost and power efficient processors for a few months. Now the first MSI nettop is available in the US. The MSI Wind C120 is a small and low power desktop computer that has the same basic guts as an MSI WInd U120 netbook. That means you get a 1.6GHz Intel Atom N230 CPU (the desktop equivalent of the Atom N270), 1GB of RAM, a 160GB hard drive, a 4-in-1 card reader, 802.11b/g WiFI, and integrated Intel GMA950 graphics.
The Wind CS120 also has a slot-loading DVD burner and 7.1 channel audio. It has a total of 6 USB ports and a VGA output. Sorry, no HDMI on this model.Â
The package measures just 9.5″ x 2.6″ x 1.1″ and consumes 35 watts at peak performance. You can pick one up today from Amazon for less than $320
