Desktop computer with power and finesse

At 5.7" x 3.9" x 2" (14.6 cm x 9.9 cm x 5.2 cm) the VIA ARTiGO is the smallest fully featured PC on the market, available in a handy kit form that's great for entry level enthusiasts and still enticing enough for a seasoned PC builder.

The new A1150 edition comes with a 1.0GHz dual core VIA Eden X2 processor and it supports HD video playback and Gigabit Ethernet, making it an itsy bitsy solution for the family room, and quiet and small enough to be unobtrusive but really handy as a media solution in a bedroom.

But why focus on the multimedia aspects so much? The thing is, this setup ticks all the boxes for a desktop for the vast majority of people. Why on earth would you have a hefty beige or silver box whirring away taking up desk or foot space when you can have this literally sitting under the profile of most LCD monitors?! Crazy!

"VIA redefines dual core low power compact computing, bringing all the features of a regular desktop PC into a form factor that needs to be seen to be believed," said Epan Wu, Head of the VIA Embedded Platform Division, VIA Technologies, Inc. "VIA has a long history in creating leading edge form factor systems, and the VIA ARTiGO A1150 pushes the bounds for ultra-compact desktop computing.”
