  Silverstone has presented the market with the Strider Plus series. Compared to the previous series, without the “Plus” in the name, the differences are numerous, the biggest one being that the Strider Plus only has one +12V rail, whereas the predecessor had multiple. Important differences don’t end there, because the new series PSUs also sport a 13.5 cm fan, which should, owing to its larger diameter, keep the PSU cool and stable at a lower RPM rate, thus reducing the overall noise emission. The new series also has improved power efficiency, all of them proudly wearing the 80 Plus Silver certificate. We received all three representatives of the new product family, declared at 750, 850 and 1000 W.

  This time we got an very interesting device from ASUS: EeeBox. This is small form factor PC that has mixed functionality between desktop systems and netbooks. Main features are low power consumption, small dimensions and decent performance rates. EeeBox mainly targets SOHO market but it can be interesting solution for all not-so-demanding users.

  Last AIO system that we reviewed was MSI NetOn AP1900 - configuration that was packed in monitor chassis. This time we have in our test lab similar ASUS model with additional feature: touch screen display. These systems are ideal as small office systems or small multimedia home systems because of small dimensions and low power consumption.

 Few weeks ago we reviewed MSI NetTop , PC that beside its small dimensions had also very low power consumption (35W) and as such was ideal solution for almost any office. This time we got PC that has extremely low power consumption of 65W that includes power consumption of monitor because whole PC is packed at the back side of it. This AIO concept isn’t something new, but till now prices of similar configurations were relatively high compared to performances but MSI AP1900 model is ready to make some radical changes even in that department.

 Thanks to AMD’s Dragon platform, most desktop configuration retailers have updated their line-up accordingly. In our test lab have arrived two Pakom desktops based on AMD CPUs and chipsets that pack quite a punch. When it comes to desktops maybe these are the best that we saw so far.

 Popularity of small factor configurations is growing rapidly. Except small sizes, thanks to which nettops can be placed almost anywhere in a room or office, manufacturers have begun to pay attention to power consumption of these small PCs. From MSI we got one of their latest nettop models: Wind Nettop D130. Interesting detail of this configuration is the dual-core Atom CPU that operates at 1.6GHz and it should provide higher performance levels with lower power consumption compared to its older single-core brother.
