Digital Home Thoughts: MSI Offers LCD Mountable WindBOX

"Finally, a nettop we can really support. Rather than forcing consumers to deal with yet another underpowered box on their desk, MSI is enabling Earthlings to totally conceal said underpowered box so long as they have an LCD monitor with a VESA-compatible mount. The WindBOX, which actually broke cover back in November, is now completely official, and within the slim slab will be a 1.6GHz Atom CPU, 1GB of DDR2 RAM, Intel's GMA 950 graphics set, 802.11b/g WiFi, audio in / out, three USB 2.0 sockets, a VGA port and a 3-in-1 multicard reader for good measure. There's no mention of a price, but it should start filtering out later this quarter."

I like nettops as they're extremely low powered computers that can handle my day to day computing and take up a minimum of space. MSI intends to take this even further with their WindBOX which can mount onto the back of LCDs that have a VESA mount. VESA mountable PCs have been around a long time, but they've also traditionally either been underpowered or expensive or both. If this could be paired with a touch-screen LCD, I could see this having lots of tempting uses all over the house like looking up recipes in the kitchen. What would you use a dandy WindBOX/LCD combo for?
