How they make this article without a screenshot of the final product is beyond me. Oh well, if you are looking to build something mini then you might have a look at this. Otherwise you are better off checking out what JC posted yesterday.
Small form factor PCs are all the rage. But these days, you have to choose between a tiny, cube-shaped PC with limited expandability or a pizza-box style desktop unit with limited flexibility and performance.
