Gigabyte BRIX i7-4500 Barebones Mini-PC Review

Gigabyte launched a new Mini PC computer system at Computex that they called BRIX.  The idea behind it is to provide a barebones computer system that could power industrial systems like signs and television displays but also give retail customers the option for something smaller than MiniITX.

I wasn't all that interested in the BIRX when I first saw it at Computex but I cannot be the only one who secretly wanted to take one home.

With modern computer components continuing the trend of shrinking in size while also increasing in performance, the small form-factor (SFF) market is big business. Taking size reductions to the extreme, can Gigabyte’s BRIX prove its worth to downsizing system builders?

Personally the Mini PC has a place in the computing world.  I'm just not sure it will replace a real desktop anytime soon.
