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
