MSI Launches the Atom-Powered WindBox

MSI is set to release a new Atom-based computing product called the WindBox. Funny thing is, the WindBox is actually a box-like machine. According to the MSI PR, the WindBox is geared for industrial use, either for digital signage, thin client, and POS.
MSI is offering the WindBox as a fanless barebone unit equipped with the following:
- Intel Atom N270 1.6GHz CPU
- Mobile Intel 945GSE Express chipset
- 1GB RAM
- Intel GMA 950 3D Graphic Engine
- 802.11 b/g
- 3 USB ports
- 3-in-1 memory card reader
- SATA II Interface
Release date for the MSI WindBox is set sometime this quarter. Pricing is not yet available. Although, we don’t really see any personal computing application for this one.
