“Polywell’s Mini-Box2 platform, based on the Aspire X-QPACK SFF chassis, has the capacity to be very flexible with multiple configurations available for sale, from basic productivity to a full-fledged Media Center. The system that was assembled for this evaluation is a version of the SoHo Mini-Box2 variant, with an added EVGA 6800 GS for better graphics performance. A good mid-range card, the 6800 GS has recently been seen in another evaluated system, the Velocity Micro Gamer’s Edge 1500.
