Tom's Hardware does a review of several Mini-PC cases/barebones

[James]

The part I'm confused about is on the conclusions page.

They reviewed, ASUS, Biostar, MSI, and Shuttle. But on the last page, their summary picture is Biostar, MSI, Shuttle, and Gigabyte?

Interesting read though. The ultra small solutions, like the ASUS, will probably catch on more and more as low thermal output solutions become more prevalent.

I hate Tom's Adware articles, when you have to <next page> go through at least <next page> a dozen pages of pics and <next page> ads just to get through <next page> the actual article.

So what I do is change the *page*.html to "print.html" and the article loads up all on one, nicely readable no-bs page, like it should.

like this: http://www.tomshardware.com/2006/07/...pus/print.html

And now I actually read reviews on Tom's Hardware.

You have issues chief.

Dude, try his trick before you knock it! It's pretty sweet actually.

I guess. I don't have a problem clicking next or using the drop down menu though.

I also hated that about Toms. Thanx for the tip!

oh man that is slick!

[James]

Very nice indeed. I would much rather scroll through a long article than page after page. Good tip.

Just for giggles, I priced out a mini-ITX board, Core Duo 1.83GHz, 2GB DDR2 667, 100GB 7200rpm 2.5" hdd, and slot load DVD-RW slimline drive.

About 1400 bucks to have all the parts to make an extremely compact system. Now to find a case to put it in that is smaller than the commercial solutions.

So you crap on the guy giving a handy tip? Die in a fire, looks like other people appreciated it fine.

Random aside,

Now using this technique to peruse the Conroe benchmark article at Tom's.

Definitely gets a thumbs up from me.

Also,

You can do this at Anandtech's as well.

Simply put in:

http://www.anandtech.com/printarticle.aspx?i=2795

Where the article ID number (in this case 2795) is whatever article you wish to view in one long page.

So do all geniuses.

Thanks for the tip chef.

Good looking out, I'll be reading a lot more technical papers in the future I guess.

They should have reviewed other mini pc's instead of just the typical box mini pc's.

I would have been more interested if they reviewed/tested some of the mini pc's from here:

Yeah, I've seen those Stealth computers before... pretty nifty too... Look how tiny they are!!
