    That looks really cool - how small is it! I’ve seen some pretty small computer systems on the internet but none as small as this one!

    Hi David

    It seems like a great mini PC, and it looks like it goes together very easily from the video, I think I may have to get one :)

    I have worked in IT for almost 30 years and have owned only one very slow, and retired a long, long time ago, 486SX. Now I want to buy my own computer.

    No, I think I will wait until they invent one that will integrate, and fit into, my cranial cavity.

    Not a bad deal tho. $300.00

    Does it come with a keyboard?

    Hi guys. Glad you enjoyed the ARTiGO Builder Kit in my video. I mean seeing is believing, and you’ll probably never really get just how small that PC is until you hold it your hand. By far the smallest PC I’ve ever held. We’re really making an effort here at VIA to something innovative and different.

    Cheers you guys.

    And no. It doesn’t come with a keyboard.

    Sorry.

    I just finished building one of these. I could not get it to recoginize the 60gb Hitachi drive w/o using the 44 pin cable, the “adapter unit” would not ID the HD properly. Also, when I tried to install Windows-it said it could not find any hard drive, even though the bios said it found one.

    The top mounted SATA connector is a really good feature. I put the CDRom drive on there to boot the Windows CD.

    Drivers installed easily.

    I am very much impressed with this over the other 2 VIA boards I’ve used.
