MSI HAS shown off its new, Shuttle-esque mini PC.

The Titan 700 is based on the Mini-ITX board and is powered by a VIA C7 Series 2Ghz processer with 1GB of DDR2 - running from a VIA CN700/8237R+ chipset.

It ships with a slim DVD burner, a 2.5-inch S-ATA HDD enabling the compact size and reducing heat dissipation within the chassis.

The basis of the MSI bare-boned themed system is a Mini-ITX motherboard.

Dimensions for the mini-ITX run in it at 170 x 170mm, smaller than the micro ATX form factor. Since it utilises a smaller chassis, the 60W power source is an external energy-efficient notebook style power-supply.

Titan 700's overall size is a mere 185 × 240 × 70mm, with the blurb going on to mention it measures only 3.1 litre in volume, so we’re guessing it can hold water.

Other features of the rumoured Asus Eeee-desktop contender are Gigabit LAN, I/O ports, USB 2.0, S-ATA, PS/2 and 5.1-channel audio.
