SPARKLE has just trumpeted the grand entrance of the CalibreCUTi Supermicro Computer, a small form-factor personal computer that combines the versatility of the NVIDIA ION platform with a dual core chip and a large array of multi-functions, as well as an elegant design and a very low power consumption. The compact PC even boasts a very low noise output, making it ideal for multimedia and office tasks alike.

The CalibreCUTi combines ION with the 1.6GHz processing power of Intel Atom Dual-Core processors. The built-in ION 9400 GPU can handle Blu-ray HD content (1080p), DirectX 10 graphics and even mildly demanding games such as Call of Duty 4 and Spore. It can boast up to 4GB of memory and even has an impressive storage capacity of up to 500GB (SATA HDD). In addition, the product supports solid state drives, boasts a 5-in-1 card reader and operates on a very low voltage of 30W at most, with only 14W in idle mode.

Of course, the impressive performance capabilities of this product are not all there is to it. The Supermicro PC is a fifth in size compared with normal desktops, has a slim and stylish frame and even comes with a special mounting system, enabling it to save desk space by standing vertically, or hung on the back of the HDTV / LCD monitor. In addition, by using the NVIDIA PhysX and CUDA technologies, as well as the high-quality audio, the CalibreCUTi can play the part of a family entertainment center.

"The Calibre CUTi is a compact, stylish, quiet, green and fully capable PC that uses less energy and provides a brilliant visual experience for daily office works, home digital life, games and even high definition video." Joe Lo, product manager of SPARKLE Computer Co., Ltd., said. "The Calibre CUTi is small and quiet enough to go anywhere, yet powerful enough to handle all the needs of your digital lifestyle, no matter doing office works, watching HD videos, editing photos, surfing the web and playing the latest online games!"

The CalibreCUTi Supermicro computer has HDMI and S/PDIF outputs, the aforementioned 7.1-channel surround sound, built-in 802.11n wireless LAN and Ethernet interface, as well as a mini-audio jack, coaxial & optical fiber output, Bluetooth(Optional), DVI-I, headphones, Microphone and six USB ports.
