crap, while I cracking my head to make myself a small ITX PC, now dell come out with this ??? but the price ...er ....

Hope tomolo PC fair has some good discount for it..

the processor offered is T5850 , T7250 , T8100, T8300 ...

looks like laptop processor

Yup.. that's y it is much expensive and offer much lower power comsumption..

anyway , great design wif affordable price .... might consider it for my 2nd pc

affordable meh ? 3K can buy a good notebook liao ...
but i do really like the design ~ so compact !

erm .... wat u said is right , but wif such a cute design , , not bad .... 3k notebook design very ugly and standard

compare wif other brand desktop , HP and acer cant giv u such a special design desktop...

looks similar like portable HDD

The BAMBOO casing is best match with High end hi-fi system..

too bad it's Intel® Integrated Graphics Media Accelerator X3100.
no no for HTPC.

There is something you must know before buying.

17 inch LCD monitor SE178WFP
1GB ram
250GB hard disk
Normal wire keyboard and mouse.Not wireless.

-Price is RM 2899

US Hybrid Studio

Vista Premium
20 inch LCD monitor E207WFP
3GB ram
320GB hard disk
Wireless keyboard and mouse
Without USB speaker

-USD 874

Upgrade hardware to US hardware.

Vista Premium
20 inch LCD monitor E207WFP
3GB ram
320GB hard disk
Wireless keyboard and mouse
USB Speaker

RM 3,670
Since all are wireless , adding extra wireless network = RM 130 = RM 3,800


Anyway waiting for PC fair promotion price.
Maybe a free upgrade of 320GB and 2GB ram with wireless keyboard for the price of RM 2599.Hoping only.
Just one letdown beside the price is Integrated Graphics Media Accelerator X3100

wah .......... different so much ~ I tot DELL made in Malaysia 1 ? still so expensive ...

X3100 able to handle Blu-Ray well?

What I can see is a rip off from DELL. Crappy X3100 for HDMI output? I doubt it can churn out 1080 reso at all.

Added on July 31, 2008, 6:47 pmI think it is a good deco item next to your plasma TV or LCD TV and output some 720p HDTV rip movie or TV series. (But PS3 can do those multimedia function and at cheaper price and comes with blu-ray player too)

Ati X1250 also can handle HDMI output ... X3100 is better than it ...

ps3 can play H.264 AVI movie or not ??? maybe I switch to Ps3 better ~

as long as not .mkv then should be fine. all .mpg and .avi so fas so good for me.

this is just like a notebook without LCD screen, keyboard, touchpad.

using, notebook prc, notebook ram, notebook odd, wireless card, notebook hdd, card reader. using external portable ac adapter but in 350W.
the best is got design for optional build in RF receiver for wireless keyboard & mouse. heard that is using logitech chipset OEM.
but I wonder why dun include also internal bluetooth.

good connectivity: 1394, spdif, hdmi, dvi, no more d-sub

most of ppl must be query is X3100 able to play blu-ray on hdmi?
because this machine can install extra blu-ray decoder acceleration card.

cool design as the dell logo on both side have white light on

Blu-Ray Acceleration card?
Where u get the info? TQ
