Small is good. The lab mice take a look at Asus' latest rendition of mini-me, tearing it apart and chewing up every single bit of it. We'll take you on a mousey ride... C'mon in...
Nothing a bit of screwing can't resolve.
Mini PCIe for Atheros Wireless G. The lone connector there provides an interface for the storage devices, a SATA hard drive and the optical drive.
Heatpipes are a godsend when you try to cramp a desktop into a tissue box.
The motherboard. Intel's 946GZ chipset is used.
3 phase CPU power regulation. We've done a little testing and this board will boot most, if not all 4x266MHz FSB Intel CPUs.
The flipside. That's the Southbridge, ICH7 under that heatsink.
1GB RAM module. We tried a 2GB SODIMM and it worked fine.
