And a Range of Innovative Systems
In keeping with their status as a huge supplier in the OEM market and an increasingly important player in the "branded" market, Foxconn was showing some of the more interesting complete systems on display at Computex.
Their all-red mini system was an eye-catcher and should appeal to buyers looking for a compact computer that will stand out from the crowd.
Foxconn was showing a "Set-top-box" form-factor computer that they called the Tuckaway. This full-featured system with a flat panel is a champion in saving desk space without giving up too many current features.
Last, but certainly not least, is the tiniest real computer that we saw at Computex this year. Called the Net Box, the unit has an embedded 500 MHz CPU consuming 1.0 Watt of power, 128MB of memory in one DIMM, built-in high-speed LAN, and a fast-boot integrated Windows CE OS.
As a system, the wires take up a lot more room than the Net Box computer, but we are certain that many manufacturers will find other places besides the desktop to use this tiny, flexible computer.

Thanks, I see.So carbon is a good electrical insulator, but also a good thermal conductor.
Learn something new every day.

good news to hear that abit is out of troublebut what the hell is going on with their guru clock?
looks ugly as hell
the 5.25" one in an older article (with the bios nuke button) was nice but not this new external one

Correct about the diamonds.http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diamond
However, such little carbon is really not going to affect the thermals of the system. Besides, even if it transfers heat well, there still has to be surface area of the heat to dissapate.

#6No. Carbon is an excellent conductor of heat. It's the reason why diamond is the best conductor of heat in the world - it is very densely-packed carbon..or something like that.

Wouldn't the carbon fibre act as an insulator?monsoon - Friday, June 10, 2005 - link
well, personally i fancy the corsair led RAMs, but even MORE Important to me is the last pace MINI PC......i'm currently looking for a SILENT FANLESS PC; should be reasonably powered, can be a MINI PC, better if it has at least a 3 5'25" slots space so that i can put a 5 SATA bloc on it.
anybody able to give directions ?
=)
THANKS

500mhz@1w, windows ce... sounds awfully like the craptastic AMD PIC. Though I must admit, it looks a lot more interesting in a decent-looking boxryanv12 - Friday, June 10, 2005 - link
that red foxconn mini-system is an eyesore.plewis00 - Friday, June 10, 2005 - link
How comes even though the Geil RAM is running at DDR2-1066, it's still only through-putting 2896MB/s - pretty low isn't it for such fast RAM (I'm aware of the timings, but still)...Souka - Friday, June 10, 2005 - link
