MSI Wind Top AE2010 ReviewUntil the last few years, desktop computers were the standard in personal computing. When someone needed a computer, they didn't compare netbook or notebook pricing; they simply bought a heavy mid-tower computer system with a detached monitor and lots of cables. Eventually the notebook computer crept into the desktop space near the eve of Y2K, and today we see a sophisticated array of smart phones and portable mobile devices replacing the languished desktop system. Fortunately, being defined as a desktop computer doesn't include surrendering a large portion of real estate inside your work area. Desktop computers are making a resurgence, and have exploited the compact nature of newer technology to provide the best of both worlds. Netbooks are the popular item for travelers, but they don't get the job done for full time workers and students. Notebooks are nice, and meet halfway, but have their own limits too. Behold the nettop. It's a compact desktop computer with a notebook profile. In this article, Benchmark Reviews tests the MSI Wind Top AE2010-02SUS All-In-One touch screen desktop computer against an Intel Atom-equipped ASUS Eee PC netbook, Core 2 Duo notebook, and NVIDIA ION desktop system.
MSI has taken their portable Wind nettop computer system and combined it with a full-featured desktop computer. The result is a stylish and compact all-in-one (AIO) personal computer system that fits in the space of a 20-inch monitor. Not to be outdone, that small footprint doesn't just shelter a display, it also incorporates touch-screen functionality along with an integrated web cam and stereo SRS speakers. Even after all this, there are still more perks to be discovered on the MSI All-In-One desktop system. If you're interested in full-size computing using pint-size technology, Benchmark Reviews examines the MSI Wind Top AE2010. About MSI Desktop

The first thing to go was the power supply after less than 3 weeks use. I shipped it back and the power supply was replaced. When I received the computer back it was poorly packed and the top section that contains the web came was busted into little pieces. Another ship back to MSI. Then I had to fight with them for 2 weeks to get my power cord back.
It is in the box to go back to MSI right now as apparently and this is according their tech support, the motherboard has gone out. I have been waiting nearly two hours now for the RMA and shipping label to send it back to them. I am one step away from calling the credit card company and seeing if we can do something about it because of the problems that I have had with MSI and this computer.
so what the # is this #?
You must have a different system, if it only has a total of 68.3 GB of HDD space.
Yes, with only 6.68 GB of HDD space, it doesn't surprise me that WoW doesn't have enough space to install and run properly. You obviously need a bigger HDD.
I would just like to know if I can upgrade it.
Like a graphic gard and some extra memory in?
Now i realize i need to upgrade the GPU/CPU and maybe memory
IM thinking about getting this : ##newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814161379
Would i be able to upgrade this computer with that product?
If not what could i upgrade it with that would allow me to play big games like Skyrim or COD or GTA IV that is cheap and worth buying
would like to buy system board for this pc (video chip - screw..any idea where can get one..thanks
