Smaller and Skinnier PC’s

Tuesday, November 6th, 2007

Last month, AMD attempted at yet another skinny innovation of a desktop PC. This is a far cry from the iMac, which had conveniently found a way to totally do without the bulky computer chassis. However, AMD is doing its best to minimize the space required for computers, all for the benefit of middle-class computer users who can’t much afford the high-off-the-roof price of iMacs.AMD called their small and thin chassis the DXT form factor. It’s almost a third smaller than the regular ATX chassis and several inches more compact and thinner than the micro ATX. The box also includes locations for the computer’s major components, namely the motherboard, expansion slot, mounting holes, and input/output ports.
