ASUS Barebones: Multimedia Even Sans Hard Drive

technomegalomaniac writes "This new stylish barebones combo from ASUS (case+motherboard) is going to outdo Apple in 'the way it looks matters' department. Customizable to your heart content, no OS included (obviously, since you need to buy your own hard drive). Comes with 'Instant On' software that lets you play CDs, DVDs and MP3s without entering the primary OS thus bypassing the long boot process. Definitely a living room toy." Doesn't beat Apple hardware in my eyes, but still looks like a nifty box.

Re:Outdoing Apple??

It's small, it's functional, it's unobtrusive and decent looking and it's inexpensive. Outdoes apple on four counts right there - size, function, appearance, and cost.
