The MSI Wind Nettop 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 usage, you just need to add a stick of RAM and you're done!

It is available from NewEgg (they do not ship internationally) for US$149.99, here.
