I know this is way off topic but I been trying to find a Windows PC that is built similar to the Mac Mini PC and the ChromeBox PC. Though I honestly can't wait till RIM shows their desktop system of some sort. Does anyone know if there is a Windows "Mini"?

It's a bit more DIY (need to add RAM and SSD) but also a bit smaller than Mac mini.
What exactly are you looking for?
For example, there's this: Newegg.ca - SAPPHIRE 4H000-04-42G 1 x 204Pin DDR3 SO-DIMM AMD Radeon HD 6320 Black EDGE HD3 MINI PC
I built my own computer using a hec 7k09, which is basically a full computer the size of a big DVD player
Newegg.ca - hec Black 0.7mm Thickness SECC Steel 7K09BBA30FNRX Micro ATX Media Center 300W Power Supply / HTPC Case
There's also this, which allows for a fairly compact system: Newegg.ca - APEVIA X-FIT-200 Black Steel Mini-ITX Tower Computer Case 250W Power Supply
The specs on that $340 machine are yucky :(
I addition to the intel box I posted, you could always just buy a Mac mini and use it as a windows mini instead...
This is something I was looking for, something that is more like the Mac Mini but with Windows on it.
The problem is that it has a rally poor port selection. you have to choose between Ethernet and thunderbolt, and there's no USB 3.0
Might as well just pick up a used mac mini.
Yeah I got to looking at more thorough and the ports aren't the best way to go for this day and age. It be nice to see some that is like the Mac Mini and up to the times with a good chip set and ports. I wasn't to thrilled to see the HD4000 in it either.... But it was worth a shot.
