ViewSonic LinkPC

Typically known for monitors, Viewsonic has expanded their product line at CES 2009 to include several affordable PCs. The ViewSonic LinkPC is a small, square-shaped PC that is designed to attach directly to the back of a VESA-compatible monitor; a perfect compliment to Viewsonics well known monitor line.  This ultra compact device is powered by an Intel Atom 1.6GHz processor, 1GB memory, and has a 160GB hard drive. There is a Gigibit Ehternet LAN port and 802.11b/g WiFi connectivity, as well as a VGA output, serial port and four USB 2.0 ports.  The ViewSonic LinkPC is intended to be used for basic office tasks and internet-based programs.  Ideal of those on a budget, the LinkPC has an MRSP of $399.
