It doesn't have pre-installed storage or memory, but boasts everything else

Barebone PCs are cheap and small because they don't have all the parts needed to actually run a PC. Specifically, they lack storage and memory. The new MSI Hetis H81 is no different in that regard.

Barebones are made for businessmen and home users that want to build up a decent PC in their own time. It helps that they are easy enough to upgrade in those areas.

Anyway, the new barebone that MSI made is called Hetis H81, from the Intel H81 chipset.

It has two COM ports, space for two full-height, half-length PCI cards, one 5.25-inch ODD, and a bunch of various ports on the rear/front panels (USB 3.0, USB 2.0, VGA, DVI, HDMI, eSATA, PS/2, audio/mic etc.).

Everything is held inside a mini-tower, black case and powered by an 80W PSU. The top storage and memory capacities are of 2 TB and 16 GB (2 DIMM slots), respectively.
