    It looks as if Biostar has managed to clone a PC - but it's one eighth the size.... We shall have to call it a Mini-PC! SubZeroTech has as posted reviewed on the new Verne Troyer of the PC world:

    "Biostar is a name that certainly doesn’t conjur any definitive opinion, or company image to most of us. There is a reason for this: they have not had the chance to properly make a name for themselves in the USA. What I think of are motherboards, but since I have never had the opportunity to test one, nor have I seen a review on one, I cannot associate the name with any sort of adjective with which to describe their quality or integrity. All of that changed for me a short while ago when I began to venture into the Small Form Factor (SFF for brevity) market. What I expected to get was not what I got, I was thoroughly impressed. What I expected to encounter was something of a bittersweet ceremony. I have always assumed that SFF means low on performance, high on looks. So being an avid gamer, overclocker and performance enthusiast I thought it would be a fun review, a learning experience, but something not for me to be filed away upon completion of testing. I was dead wrong; Biostar has shown me the light; their new IDEQ-200T has features in every dimension that FAR exceeded my expectations. Everything was there, it was as if someone took a high quality desktop machine and simply shrunk it, without removing any functionality. Quite simply put the PC was sexy, clean and what you might least expect…a formidable overclocker!"
