Xi3 Modular Computer from Xi3 Corporation looks very unsuspicious

On the first look, this would never be a computer in the eyes of by passers. Look more like a luxury toaster to me. A company called Xi3 Corporation today presented the Xi3 Modular Computer, a cube-shaped computer that measures less than 4-inch per side. The Xi3 Modular Computer is powered by AMD’s Athlon 64 X2 processors, either 2000+ 1GHz or 3400e 1.8GHz or 4200+ 2.2GHz, up to 4GB of DDR2 memory and integrated graphics engine with DirectX 10 support. It has two eSATA ports and six USB 2.0 ports, and offers DVI-D dual link and DisplayPort. Oddly two of the six USB 2.0 ports are coloured in orange. This might possibly make people mistaken them as USB 3.0 ports, even though typical USB 3.0 ports are usually coloured in blue. The aluminium casing of the Xi3 Modular Computer also serves as a type of heatsink, while the flow-through design and the placement of the processors within the computer combine to help mitigate and dissipate heat inside the enclosure itself. The Xi3 Modular Computer is priced at $849. Sadly there’s no HDMI port so this wouldn’t make it into the HTPC round.
