Just saw this announced. the 865pro
http://www.msi.com.tw/program/produc...il.php?UID=602

I have been waiting for this one for it's instant on feature. WIll use it for HTPC to play DVD's MP3's

Hopefully it is well implemented and unlike other megapc's runs cool and quiet. I wonder what sort of TV output it will have? Can't imgaine being happy without component or VGA/DVI.

Waiting for reviews.

To bad it's prescott. I'd love to see an A64 version. Nice and cool'n'quiet that'd be.

looks pretty nice, lack of pci-e is a bit of a downer though.

You know what would be really cool? If korean and taiwanese SFF makers stopped churning out boring clones, and actually made something innovative.

I'm thinking something simillar in size to the soldam lepty, which incorporates a MXM slot and a Pentium-M.
