Using the latest 4th generation Intel (Haswell) Core i5/i7 CPU, with the powerful Nvidia GTX650 enthusiast GPU, Giada has created a high-end mini computing platform that is targeted at living room computer needs and CEO-level business environments," the company said. "The D2308 also features 3 antennas for maximum signal reception and wireless throughput with a maximum speed of 450 Mbps."

The D2308 comes equipped with two SO-DIMM slots supporting up to 16 GB of DDR3-1333/1600 RAM (1 GB of VRAM already onboard), two mini-PCIe slots, a slot for a 2.5 inch SATA drive, Gigabit Ethernet, and a 5.1 channel audio codec. Connectivity includes dual-band Wireless N and Bluetooth.

Wow, this is a fast mini-PC, and it looks smaller than a VCR and DVD player. I wonder if it can be used as a portable gaming computer for gaming on the Go.

This computer would make a pretty good living room or bed room computer for playing PC games, movies, and TV shows on a TV.

Has the default OS been announced?

I think you need to install the OS yourself, but according to the source link it is fully compatible with Windows 8, Windows 7, Windows XP and many other popular operating systems.

I'm guesing it probably works with Linux Mint, and Ubuntu since they are popular within the Linux Community. This computer may make a Good Steam for Linux computer.

And thus Steam made it the Steambox and added +$500 to the price.
