Saintsong Releases A New Mini PC

Posted by Hemos on from the pretty-new-hardware dept.

A reader writes "Saintsong, our favorite manufacturer of tiny PC's (see here and here) is at it again. They've released the TX2 version of the Cappuccino PC everyone drooled over not to long ago. It's designed by Gingko corp., the same folks who designed the iMac. The new unit includes 2 Firewire ports and an additional 2 USB ports over it's predecessor, the Cappuccino GX1. Unfortunately it appears that Saintsong is only distributing it in kit form, so you'll have to supply your own socket 370 processor, RAM, hdd, etc. No prices are listed, but it's still a slick looking toy."

  1. From the imac people... by RainbowSix · · Score: 3, Funny

    This is plain to see. The machine is small enough, you can mount it inside your CRT monitor and have your own x86 imac!

    It's OK to be social, just don't tell anyone about it.

    Actually, it looks an awful lot like my Dreamcast.

  3. Imac designers? Hmmm ... by Wordsmith · · Score: 4, Funny

    Can we get some Imac-style flavors too? I want a Moccachino and a Frappachino PC, please.

  4. Not vaporware by Nastard · · Score: 3, Funny

    If I didn't know better, I would have assumed this to be vaporware.

    With a name like cappuccino, could we coin the term "foamware"?

  5. Fire Transfer? by hodeleri · · Score: 3, Funny
    Two FireWire (1394) ports speed up fire transfer

    I didn't know that FireWire ports could also transfer fire. If only it had an internal battery it would be great for camping trips...
