The chameleon circuit on the TARDIS may be broken, but this computer's disguise seems well and truly complete. It's officially licensed; the downside is that it runs around 936 English pounds (double that figure for an approximate dollar amount), plus it doesn't actually dematerialize, so there are shipping fees to consider as well.
Here are the specs. You be the judge of how "big on the inside" that makes it:
- Intel Pentium G2120 Dual Core, 3.1GHz
- Gigabyte GA-H61N-USB3, Intel H61
- 8GB Corsair Vengeance DDR3 1600MHz
- 500GB Western Digital HDD
- 300W be quiet! BN133 SFX Micro-ATX PSU
- Sony Blu-ray Writer
- Microsoft Windows 7 Premium 64bit
I'd say most of us have the time and relative dimensions of (rather than "in") space for this thing...but do you have the cash? I'll save up some in time, Lord.

Price in USD is ~$1405.59. The exchange rate is, currently, $1=1.5GBP.
I think I'd actually rather just make my own in a supplied case.

Boy, I'd love to see a thermal scan of that when it runs. Personally I'd put a larger hard drive and turn it into a media server for the house. Anything more then your basic internet use would probably affect it's performance. 300W even for a mini ITX doesn't leave much power.
Now for the really important question. Does the light on top work?

the price actually isn't that bad for what your getting inside an "officially licensed product" which you have to figure is at least half of that price - I tried to find the case price seperate but my internet connection here is horrible and keeps dying, plus it's UK so computer prives 30% over USlund

sadly, with only enough room for a single video card (I'm thinking microATX), this is a TARDIS that isn't bigger on the inside :(

agreed, I don't really see the point of these tiny mobo PCs, might as well get something actually portable if you need something small
it is pretty though

@Gallen_Dugall strike that - it's a mini ITX board; you can do a lot of interesting things with such a board (i'm thinking network attached storage) but as it's own PC, well, it makes for a fancy looking internet appliance.

well of course, they just plugged it into the USB slot, not the power suply after all. Everyone knows that USB stands for Unlimited Supply of Benefits.

@DrAbraxas @doctor_mindbender @Gallen_Dugall With mini-ITX they need to have a small use purpose only. The hardest part of them is their purpose, low power. People get them and then plug in tons of USB peripherals and seem surprised when things don't work right.

@doctor_mindbender @DrAbraxas @Gallen_Dugall well sure for industrial purposes, a machine that specializes in one or a handful of tasks, that's the way to go. where footprint and costs are critical, you get just what you need.

I interviewed quite extensively with a company last year that specialized in ruggedized mini-ITX form factor PCs. Didn't land the job, but what a neat company. How would you design a PC to go in a Coast Guard cutter, or on a slaughterhouse floor or in a machine shop?
