Do-it-yourself micro Pc

Computers, Make it yourselfNo Comments »

Via has recently brought into the market a mini-Pc called Artigo. The news is that you have to build it yourself. Of course you don’t have to be an engineer because the only thing you have to do is to screw a couple of screws. That’s it. The result is quite interesting as much as the dimension of this micro Pc. As a matter of fact Via declares that its new born is “The world’s smallest full-featured x86 mainboard at just 3.9″ x 2.8″ (10cm x 7.2cm) for ultra compact embedded PCs, systems and appliances.”
