Consumer review (newegg.com)

What were they thinking?

I thought everyone else was wacko when I read their reviews. With a USB keyboard installed at boot it says "USB Devices found: 1 keyboard" then a few moments later says "No keyboard found, press F1". The USB keyboard works fine. There's absolutely no...

Small, quiet, mostly well designed case internal. Runs Ubuntu 8.04 Linux very well.

Have to affix your own sticker over the fake firewire port on the front, had to replace the cover over the DVD drive with another they provide. What the heck with the PS/2 keyboard issue!?!

update to last review

Again, a great machine with a few flaws, or rather poor design choices. It's like buying a brand new car, no matter how well the factory built it, you still need to break in in and tune it to your needs. Overall, it's still well worth the money. Thanks...

as stated in earlier review

the one thing that's driving me nuts is the ps-2 keyboard requirement. the system will not boot on it's own unless there is a ps-2 keyboard attached, you have to hit F1 to continue. Unless I'm doing something wrong, I can't find where to turn it off. I...

so far so good

Overall it's a great build so far; quiet and stable running Ubuntu 8.04 64-bit (no windows on this 'puter, ever). Perfect utility computer for a non-tech savvy parent. Shipping was super fast as always, thanks Newegg. Build details (check MSI's HCL...

Slick design, nice cable routing, fairly easy to assemble. If you need a small, fast workhorse, this should be a consideration. Not too loud at all imo. When shopping around, Newegg had the best price. It took about 20 minutes to put together (swallow...

If you get a sata cdrom, make sure you get a 4-pin PC power to SATA converter cable because both sata pwr connectors are only about 3 inches away from each other. Also, the mainboard pwr connector rests right btwn the ram and cdrom, not a great design...

MSI Axis 690 AMD Athlon 64 X2 / Athlon 64 / Sempron AMD Socket AM2 AMD RS690 ATI Radeon X1200 1 x HDMI Barebone

Wire routing works better if you remove the cable clip. XP drivers are out there. Search the Realtek site for the network and AC97 sound drivers. Search the MSI site for other motherboards with the same northbridge chipset and you'll find the chipset...

Small size, quiet once set up (see below), not too difficult to install components

Loud without proper set-up (see below), only Windows Vista drivers included on the driver CD or MSI support web site - no XP or Linux drivers. The external 3.5" bay is only useful if you order MSI's optional card reader - there is no open USB header on...
