The MSI Wind PC is a very small, ultra low power consumption Intel Atom based PC that can be used as an MD. This is a low end, very low cost barebones PC that already includes a CPU. So for MD useage, you just need to add a stick of RAM and you're done!

The cheapest I have seen it is at NewEgg (they do not ship internationally) for US$139.99, [http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16856167032&Tpk=msi%20wind%20pc here].

== Advantages ==

* Small foot print - 300x260x65mm
* Support UI2 with overlay and 1080p (HD) video playback - VGA out only
* 7.1 Surround sound - analogue minijacks
* Almost noiseless
* Low energy consumption - less than 40w at full speed, this is probably including a HDD which isn't needed for LMCE
* Low price

== Disadvantages ==

* Video is analogue - no DVI or HDMI
* Audio is analogue - no SPDIF out

== Known Issues ==

* Photo Screen Saver sometimes causes issues with the Intel graphics chipset - this causes the unit to lock up. Resolution: disable PSS. It is possible in the next version of LMCE the driver updates will fix this.
* There is an issue with the NIC drivers that means the unit can't PXE boot properly. Resolution: follow [http://wiki.linuxmce.org/index.php/R8168 this] article to correct the drivers
