Why does an industrial PC need components like audio? Also, industrial PC's computing requirements aren't usually high. They need small, fanless, reliable PC's with minimal outputs. I don't see why this requirement would cost more than $300 even with a small premium for quality components.
@photonboy: The high prices are because of the small batches produced on demand. As for audio, it depends on the application. They probably have designs with no audio ports as well.
how is the starting price of 772.96 affordable? lol
You are paying for the small form factor, so it will naturally be more expensive. I think it's really cool, a bit pricey though. I wish we see more PCs like this with such a small form factor at good prices for consumers while retaining what makes PCs great. The normal consumer does not need a huge tower and tiny computers like this would work perfect.
I guess these really are catered towards industrial use because I dont see any consumer buying something with these low specs and paying so much just for the small form factor.
