PC Stats has posted a MSI Metis 266 Slim PC System review



It seems the Small Form Factor PC craze that started early last year by an obscure Taiwanese mainboard manufacturer looking to diversify is really taking off. With several smaller manufacturers already jumping on the SFF bandwagon, it was only a matter of time before the "big guns" introduced their own take on SFF type systems - coined the SlimPC, or 'book size' PC, this system from MSI is just one such example. MSI Computer have named this very sleek, very clean looking black & grey slim PC system the Metis 266. In fact, the front of the Metis 266 consists of just a blue LED backlit power button, tiny white LED activity LED, grey drive enclosure, and tiny flap concealing two USB ports. Based around MSI's very own Socket A Micro ATX MS-6390 (VIA KM266) motherboard, the system supports any 200/266 MHz FSB Athlon based processors. Other standard features included are 5.1 audio (AC'97 codec), USB 2.0 and on board 10/100 LAN.
