We noticed a new trend developing at CES 2009 – the emergence of small form factor PCs – some of which are mountable on the back of VESA compatible LCD displays thereby transforming a standard LCD display or TV into a make-shift all-in-one PC. We saw this earlier at CES with the ViewSonic LinkPC and now we see it from MSI with their Wind NetBox products.  Here’s the rundown of the new products.

For business applications, digital signage, gaming, and thin clients, there’s the MSI MS-9A08.

Specs include: 

• Intel Core 2 Extreme, Core 2 Quad, Core 2 Duo, Celeron M processors
• Intel GM45 + ICH9ME chipset
• Up too 4GB RAM
• DVI-I, HDMI output
• Dual Intel Gigabit LAN

Now if you’re looking for a quiet, cool running, fanless solution, then the MSI NetBox DU100 is the system to check out.

Specs include:

• Intel Atom processor N270 clocked at 1.6GHz
• Intel 945GSE + ICH7-M chipset
• 2.5 inch 160GB 5400RPM HDD
