Closer Look: MSI Wind TopFrom the moment the MSI Wind Top AE2010 is removed from the box, it seems like you're in for constant surprises. And they come, one after another. The retail packages is exactly the same size as others used to contain 20-inch LCD monitors, yet MSI packs a keyboard and mouse along side their Wind Top product. The AE2010-02SUS model number refers to the black bezel surrounding the LCD touch screen, which is the product Benchmark Reviews is testing for this article.
The MSI Wind Net monitor (MSI7459) is a touch-screen sensitive 1600x900 TFT LCD display with a maximum visible display size of 44 cm x 25 cm (19.9") using the 16:9 aspect ratio at 32-bit. A faux-leather grain panel adorns the lower edge of the Wind Net monitor, and adds a small degree of elegance to the transparent frame edge.
Along the right side of the MSI Wind Top is a string of menu buttons: power, menu, left, right, auto-adjust, and a unique LCD power button. A sturdy spring-loaded stand can be pulled back to adjust the monitors viewing angle from 10° (shown above) up to 20°.
At the left side of the AE2010-02SUS is a compact media-card reader and slim optical drive. The DVD Super-Multi drive can read and write to CD of DVD media, however the newer Blu-ray Disc is not compatible. The built-in card reader supports various types of memory cards, such as XD (eXtreme Digital), SD (Secure Digital), SDHC (SD High Capacity), MS (Memory Stick), MS Pro (Memory Stick Pro) or MMC (Multi-Media Card) cards. Two Hi-Speed USB 2.0 ports are available for flash drives and digital media devices or connected cellular phones.
Although subdued, the back side of the MSI Wind Top AE2010-02SUS All-In-One Desktop System is bustling with features. The AE2010 does lack DVI output, but uses the space to include both D-Sub VGA input and output ports. The specific features and components are examined and detailed in the next section, so please continue on.

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
