A geek must have, the PX10000
« on: July 26, 2007, 04:33:27 PM »
I believe I posted on these lines of devices a while back, but since i'm too lazy to find it or ressurect that thread i'll post it afresh. This is a very innovative product from VIA (that little chip company that has alot of nice ideas but is totally underappreciated or funded) it sits on VIAs pico-itx form factor and is quite frankly the smally FULL fledged X86 product that you'll see. Just head on over to this website for a review on the upcoming latest product in their Pico line: http://www.mini-itx.com/reviews/pico-itx/default.asp?page=1

Here's a pic of how small i'm talking:


Honestly i'd get one of these (if the price is right). Walk around with that and a lil flash drive and yuh good to go... PC on the go!

Ah boy, that could build a nice in-car PC boy.  Power is certainly not a problem.

hmmmm, interesting, i see a com port labeled on the board had this thing a DB25 also i'd jump at it in a flash (for those who wondering why i mention legacy i cant program for newer interfaces, ok), small, power efficient and could prob run off a 12v battery (with some help from joe electrician ofc), this though would make a mad toy...XD i can see the possibilities now... :awesome: *excitement*

First Look: VIA PX10000 Pico-ITX Motherboard

Unless you are a big fan of small form-factor computing, you probably haven’t been tracking the development of VIA’s Pico-ITX motherboards. This form-factor was announced at this year’s Consumer Electronics Show, but it has been almost impossible to get your hands on an ITX motherboard and the official U.S. release has yet to happen. A few samples have made their way to reviewers and developers, but because of their rarity coverage has been sparse.

If you are not familiar with Pico-ITX, all you have to know is it is a newer and smaller motherboard size than what we have seen before. A full-sized ATX motherboard is 12″ x 9.6″ (305mm x 244mm) and Mini-ITX is 17cm x 17xcm, which makes it much smaller than the average system. Nano-ITX, which was announced in March 2004, but is mainly used for industrial and business systems, is 12cm x 12cm. Pico-ITX has cut the size down once again, and measures in at an incredible 10cm x 7.2cm, but has retained almost all of the features and functionality of the larger platforms.

I was lucky enough to get my hands on one of the new motherboards, the EPIA PX10000. These are not yet available in the U.S., but I was able to purchase one from Mini-ITX.com, which is based in the U.K. The motherboards are not cheap, and they will seem quite barebones if you are used to working with ATX or Micro-ATX motherboards, but once you factor in the size and (relative) power they offer, Pico-ITX could be the perfect platform for a project PC or a silent computer.

lol @ guidance system.

yes its a via cpu and chipset. There is the major drawback though that it is difficult to get something like Windows XP installed because of only one SATA port, some usb ports and no IDE connectors. So basically, only live linux distros and those small ones than can be run directly off of flash drives can be used on a system like this. Oh and also there's nocase to put the damn thing. The reviewers used a friggin old printer to screw down the thing...

Oh and Crixx you have something made for AMD in your house??? What the??? What's happening??? World ending already?

Via intros do-it-yourself kit for Pico ITX

To see the world in a grain of sand

By INQUIRER staff: Friday, 07 December 2007, 10:57 AM

CHIP FIRM VIA said it has released a builder kit which lets you make your own PC using its tiny Pico ITX boards.

The Artigo builder kit contains an Epia PX 10000 Pico ITX mobo, chassis, power adaptor and accessories. Via claims it can help you make an X86 machine which you can hold in the palm of your hand.

The kit goes on sale the 14th of December at a number of distributors, online sites, and shops at a recommended price of $300.

If that integ video chip is half decent it would be possible to build a psp killer for a good price.. Load it up with ROMS , starcraft , quake 3  , counter strike , maybe even a little warcraft III or wow...

 imagine playing WoW on a psp sized device !?

Truly , if Nvidia or another company could give them technical assistance , Via's platform could make a killing in the mainstream with microcomputers .

LOL... getting nVIDIA to assist VIA with the graphics on this project would be like asking Intel to Make MoBo's that would accept AMD CPU,s

*awaits Crixx to comment*  :violent5:

...i do see your point Trini, and i WOULD snatch one of these up without hesitation just based on it's practicality alone!
