Pico-ITX, Because Size Matters

Posted by CowboyNeal on from the on-the-head-of-a-pin dept.

An anonymous reader writes "It's not every day that a new form factor comes out, especially not one that is 10cm x 7.2cm. Despite its size, Pico-ITX is the hottest new thing in the rapidly changing small form factor market. It is considerably smaller than Mini-ITX (17cm x 17cm) which has proven itself to be quite versatile and though some sacrifices had to be made to shrink the platform, Pico-ITX is surprisingly complete. The system was tested with Feather Linux but the PX10000 has the power to run Windows XP or Ubuntu if you want to add on a hard drive."

    Wow, another smartass.

    That's exactly my point. Since it's so easy, why couldn't the person writing the article do it, instead of comparing inches and millimetres to centimetres and making everyone else convert? Some readers, after all, may not possess such a truly dizzying intellect as yours.

    And what if you think in inches? Convert that instantly.

    Honestly, this place gets more like Myspace every day.
