Both models also include HDMI and Mini DisplayPort outputs, Gigabit Ethernet, four USB 3.0 ports, a 3.5 mm headphone jack with SPDIF support, and an integrated Kensington security slot. The two SO-DIMM DDR3L slots can be configured with up to 16 GB of memory, and there's an mSATA slot for an extra SSD. The 2.5-inch expansion bay can hold another SDD or hard disk drive.

CyberPower suggests that these two tiny gaming PCs would be ideal for a crowded entertainment center, or mounted on the back of a large display. They're even small enough to be easily carried to LAN parties (if you dare) without the hassles of dragging around a huge gaming machine.
