Here's another entrant to the expanding "nettop" or mini desktop PC market, the Shuttle KPC 4800 which is very similar to the KPC 4500 which was announced by Shuttle last year.

A $99 PC obviously isn't going to deliver a blockbuster experience, but Shuttle's toaster-sized KPC actually has the hardware to get the lightweight job done: 1.8GHz Celeron processor, 512MB RAM and an 80GB ...

Shuttle's KPC is here. It offers cost-effective green computing for the masses. Power users need not apply.

Shuttle piqued our interest recently when it announced the KPC -- a low-cost Linux desktop PC you'll be able to buy for a paltry €199 (£180 including VAT), or for €94 (£85) in K45 barebones form.

Shuttle announced today that its upcoming $199 KPC will ship with the open-source Foresight Linux distribution.

In addition to a price that squarely targets the budget market, the KPC features a small form factor and high energy efficiency.

Shuttle's small form-factor KPC comes out today at $300 , instead of $200 as originally planned.
