Tablets, smartphones, netbooks and hybrids are not the only stars of the show at Computex 2011. MSI has introduced two products that are not necessarily portable, but are space-savers.

MSI has introduced its latest Wind Box DC100 and DC540 nettop computers, which offer a compact space-saving design. While the DC100 was earlier announced at CeBIT, MSI has added the new DC540 to its nettop collection, giving users a choice between AMD and Intel processors.

The Wind Box DC100 features an AMD E-350 dual-core accelerated processing unit (APU), which run at 18 Watts power consumption, which offers a 70% power savings, compared with conventional desktop cooputers. This comes in a 1-liter design, which means the nettop computers has less volume than your large soda bottle. Meanwhile, the Wind Box DC540 comes with an Intel Cedar Trail-D processor, and comes in a 4.7-liter design.

MSI’s Wind Box series come shipped with Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit and the Microsoft Office 2010 suite. Pricing and availability have not been announced, but expect these space-saving desktop computers to arrive 3rd quarter of 2011.
