MSI MegaPC 180

Tonite we will look into a barebone from MSI. We got a sample of their Mega180 AMD Xp system. This might be something for those that can't afford a AMD64 system yet. We will benchmark and see what features this small barebone really has. I think this already looks like a nice computer but we have to take a closer look.

The product:


Please click on thumbnails to get bigger pictures


The box that the barebone came in had a picture of the product itself on it and there is a handle so you can easily carry this thing around. Incuded with the barebone itself we have a FM/AM antenna for radio, a bunch of manuals, and a cd with drivers and software. We also have a remote control so you can easily control this unit even from your couch.
