In general, we are pleased with the barebone being examined. The design chosen by MSI engineers is actually very intuitive and should pose no trouble during assembly even for a technically illiterate user. This characteristic is important because the whole idea of such systems is not only about compactness and original appearance, but also about being able to quickly and easily build a computer following illustrated step-by-step instructions.

MSI says that the word MEGA in the mPC 51PV's name stands for 'MSI Entertainment and Gaming Appliance'. It sounds daft, but with a TV card in the spare PCI slot it would make a great media centre PC. It has D-sub, DVI, S-video and composite video outputs, so it can connect easily to a TV. It also has an optical S/PDIF output to connect to a surround-sound amplifier and an optical S/PDIF input for recording from a digital source. Read more
The MEGA mPC 51PV is a CPU that utilises the AMD K8 AM2, Socket940, Althorn 64 & Sempron, AMD HT Tech, 1G with Nvidia C51PV (North Bridge) and Nvidia MCP51 (South Bridge).
