Can someone help me configure a mini PC with DVI out capabilities (network, usb etc).

I'd like to see if anyone can build one for less than 450,000 won.

easy enough. What do you mean by "mini"?

In regards to DVI and the price you want, get the cheapest video card with dvi out.

I need to know what mini means first.

Are there any motherboards with onboard graphics and which support DVI?
I think you can't get around needing a video card for DVI, can you?
Which would make your pc Shuttle-sized at least, nothing as small as a mini mac...

Am I missing something?
It doesn't say anything about having a DVI port...

Nice little PC though!

But the price, a little less than nice, IMO:

Yeah...I was off base on the DVI thing. I guess it was a knee-jerk response to the Macaddicts and their minimac stuff. Wink

The price...yeah...makes one want to get out the tinsnips and buy a sheet of aluminum...

Thanks for that, someone knows his stuff Wink

Although there probably aren't any ready made mini PCs (or shuttle-size) with built-in DVI, I believe there are some motherboards out there that do.

Really want to build that TV/movie viewing system with my 30".

There are some. I just don't know if they're in your price range.
