You can copy the Mac Mini's design, but is it possible to recreate the aura that surrounds the Mac Mini? This does not stop Systemax from trying with the introduction of 3 new Impact Mini PCs. Measuring a diminutive 6.5" x 6.5" x 2", the Impact Mini PCs cater to every user category. The entry level version known as
Impact 2, is powered by a 1.4GHz Celeron M processor, a 40GB SATA hard drive, 256MB of RAM, a CD-RW/DVD combo drive, Video Out, FireWire, DVI, and two USB 2.0 ports. The Impact VXR takes a step forward with the Intel Core Duo Mobile T2050 1.66GHz processor running the show, ably supported by an 80GB SATA hard drive, 512MB of DDR2 memory, an itegrated ATSC/NTSC TV tuner, a DVD-RW drive, S-Video, FireWire, DVI, SPDIF, and two USB 2.0 ports. The flagship Impact VXR2 shares the same specifications as the Impact VXR, save for the 1GB of DDR2 RAM and a speedier Intel Core 2 Duo T5500 1.66GHz processor. All three models come with an integrated Intel graphics chipset as well as WiFi capability. The Impact 2, Impact VXR, and Impact VXR 2 will retail for $499.99, $799.99, and $899.99 respectively.
