Intel's Mac Mini Look-Alike [Updated]
Working prototypes of the Mac mini look-alike running Microsoft Windows and based on Intel's Pentium M CPU have already been built by Taiwan-based PC maker AOpen, according to two sources in Taiwan's PC manufacturing industry who have seen them.
According to the article, the prototype was built at the request of Intel and will be unveiled at the Computex trade show which starts on May 31st.
Wired comments that while several companies have long offered similar "compact" PCs -- they feel that the Mini offers a more attractive package at a lower cost and that this Look-Alike will address those issues.

yeah, who cares - there's thousands of different designs of funny/weird/flashy/whatever pc's on the out there. The only reason this one is getting attenton is because it claims to be copying the mini.

Intel's concept PC apes Apple
How many threads have there been on companies trying to out-do Apple design!? It almost never even looks nearly as good as the Apple version, and if it does, it's usually a direct copy of the Apple product, and in line for legal proceedings!
Companies should stop trying to copy Apple, hire some good product designers, and come up with beautiful designs for themselves!
I wonder if this is the same small-factor PC they showed off in early March:
