MSI's Toast PC Doesn't Do Your Bread
It's a mini PC in the shape of a toaster.
UsHour.com is reporting from CeBIT 2010 that MSI is showcasing a nettop PC that looks like a toaster. Although no real specs were provided, the company is actually calling this mini-rig the MSI Toast PC, taking full advantage of its bread-burning appearance.
Outside its unique design, the nettop provides a DVD insert slot at the top much like the way a toaster loads bead. The company has also integrated a remote control into the design, allowing the user to snap it into the side without disrupting the overall Toaster appearance.
MSI's CeBIT 2010 display stated that the Toast PC can serve as an "elegant decoration" as well as a functional PC. It can also integrate into your kitchen layout thanks to its ultra-thin body (think one slice). However, the company also clearly stated that consumers should refrain from inserting bread.

I get the feeling even Tom's isn't taking this product seriously!
We got a Toaster PC. Where is the butter keyboard?

Everything looks good "butter" keys?
...stretch...
well...i've always used my dvd drive as coffee tray
I can see some grandma or what nots stuffing down a piece of bread into it, expecting a piece of toast coming out
GRAMMAR NAZI =p
Why stop half-way? Why not make it a functionnal toaster? It could even user some heat generated by the processor to toast bread. Talk about recycling energy!
Boy I sure am hungry for that bead.
Top loading DVD slot.
Great idea! I'm sure that will remain relatively free of dust.
Don't eat beads. It hurts when you pee.
Tom's, can you please get rid of those dumb ads in the upper left corner. Everything I change tabs i hit one of them which sets off a firestorm of unwanted surprise sounds and movies.
Hmmmmmmmm Toast
I would never have a computer in the kitchen. You know how in computer labs you aren't suppose to bring food and drinks, why would you bring your computer to the mecha of food and drinks in your home?
I bet it can toast bread if it was a fermi SLI. 1 fermi on each side.
"Don't try to put bread in it." !!!
The pith! The wit! Oh, my, but how that DOES tickle my funny-bone!
Cle-VER! ... (sigh).
ROTFLOL !

I would love a tiny PC and a flip down LCD stuck under the cupboards, if nothing else then for a small HTPC that can stream TV or movies form ur main server. But the whole internet radio, videos and everything else you can do with it would be kewl
Here's a toast to the toaster PC. 'May it's processor never overheat.' I hate burnt toast.
An atom can harly make toast........ I doubt even fry an egg in one hour
LOL I had to put my two cents in this one.

It would be funnier if instead of a DVD slit, it had an actual DVD tray shaped and painted to look like toasted bread, then every time you opened the DVD tray it actually looked like the toast was done, very funny if your burning a DVD, as soon as it is done it pops out LMAO!

to compliment the toaster you need a home server in the form of a mini oven.
No specs?
What sort of crap is this?
PC's do need to have versions that integrate more into the parts of our homes. This is a step in the right direction. Having a big rectangular box or a small HTPC is basically the same thing, they just shrunk the box. A single sleek design that can be put anywhere in the house, like the kitchen, and not take over the counter space is where it need to be heading.
