Fit PC: The smallest desktop with a 2.5 inch hard drive?

fit-pc

The Fit PC is a nettop (tiny desktop) computer that looks like it’s about the size of a hard drive. Yet this tiny computer has enough space for a mainboard, CPU, RAM, and a 2.5 inch hard drive.

The latest version of the Fit PC is powered by an Intel Atom Z520 or Atom Z530 CPU with an Intel US15W low power system controller. It features hardware decoding for 1080p H.264 video while using less than 7W.The computer features a DVI output, 6 USB ports, and Ethernet and WiFi connectivity. It measures 4″ x 4.5″ x 1.05″.

The nettop features a fanless design due to its low power consumption, which means it’s virtually silent. It sells for between $245 and $400.

You can check out a video of the Fit PC in action after the break.

    Very impressive video, but I think they may have let their cat compose the score :)

    That's phenomenal.

    With decent marketing these could be found in offices the world over.

    I would like to build a 20 machine cluster - about a bookshelf sized computer center.

    That is awesome, I don't need one, but still I want one. I wonder if this would be powerful enough to be an HTPC.

    Ok, I just checked out their official site and it says that it "can make a decent home-theater PC." I'm definitely getting one if I can find a good USB tuner. My current HTPC is my old retired 2.66GHz P4 running WinMCE 2005. I have a dual tuner card in it with hardware encoding. I'll have to start looking at some external tuners.

    And its power usage is down into the range of practical to run
    from a small solar panel.
    Shut down that P4 that is running 16/7 and see what happens
    to your electric bill. ;)

    But the Fit PC is slower than your 2.66 P4 and to be quite honest - the price is absolutely horrible.
  • BoloMKXXVIII
    Those are not the standard size USB ports on the front.
  • Mikez
    That is the mini-usb connector your seeing - -
    A 'standard' size - just not the 'full size' usb connector.

    Adapters are common - but your correct in that it will
    require a handful of adapters. A minor hassle.
