MSI Wind Nettop 100 Desktop PC (1.6 GHz Intel Atom Dual Core N330 Processor, Barebone) Black

Product Description

Intel atom330 (dual core) 1.6g intel gma950, 7 x usb 2.0 ports drive bays: 1 x 3.5 & 1 x 5.25 wifi antenna 4-in-1 card reader & silver foot stand

I purchased theis nettop to use as a music server on my home network and for net surfing when needed.

Chassis is fairly good quality and easy to access. I just added a hardrive, optical drive, memory, WIFI card, and operating system and got things going. I ended up using a Gigabyte N300 for WIFI interface.

I have two gripes.

1. The case fan that comes with it is very noisy. I replaced with a 60mm Silenx. That really helped bring the noise level down.

2. The supplied antenna did not perform as expected (with any of the WIFI cards I used). I ended up purchasing a couple of tyco antennas and hid them in the chassis. That brought great reception to the table. The supplied antenna may have been defective as it didn't pickup my home network one room away.

Otherwise, it fit the bill as expected.




This is the best low consuption computer.

COOL
> There is no hard drive, memory, or disc drive. So you can choose what you want and save money, and choose low power hard disk
> Only 30 W of power are required :-) Earth will thank you
> Atoms dual core performance is great, don't worry about it if you are planning using it like a server 24/7

BAD
> There is no wifi card
> Intel GMA video chip is slowly and crappy. Here is my recomendation:

You will realize, that you actually can't play high definition videos with the wife of the Atom processor, the Intel Graphics Media "Accelerator" (GMA). Frame skipping and audio cuts, will be totally a mess.

Can be frustrating, but there is a solution:

> Deactivate deblocking filter on all the codecs that support it (H.264/MPEG-4 AVC)

How ?

Install klite codec pack, and at the end of the setup, choose deactivate deblocking.

If you use build-in codecs player programs such GOMPlayer, there are options for quit deblocking filters.

This way you can play even 720p hardly encoded videos, you will see some blocks here and there, but no frame skipping or audio cuts.

Alternately, if you need more performance, you can choose 16bit of color depth.

Enjoy your hardware.


I just received this item.

It has no hard drive or memory, despite the item saying (1.6 GHz Intel Atom Dual Core N330 Processor, 1 GB RAM, 160 GB Hard Drive, Barebone)


The product is good. You can see its review on newegg.com.
But the website description is wrong.
I ordered it assuming it had 160GB hard drive and 1GB memory. It has none.

So be careful. It is just the standard barebone which is available elsewhere
