MSI, leading manufacturer of gaming hardware, today launches the MSI Nightblade gaming barebone PC. Sturdy, stable and solid, the small, 16 liter-sized MSI Nightblade packs the perfect gear for PC gamers that do not wish to compromise on gaming performance. Housing the highly appraised MSI GAMING motherboard series, a 600W PSU, a high-speed Dragon casefan and equipped with MSI’s OC Genie functionality, the Nightblade delivers a true powerpunch. Despite its mini-ITX form factor, the MSI Nightblade can host an ATX-size graphics card and supports the usage of two SSDs, an HDD and even an optical drive bay. The solid handle on the frontside helps gamers to easily carry the Nightblade from one LAN-event to the next.
The MSI Nightblade is available worldwide from the 2nd week of March 2014 and will be on its first live display at CeBIT 2014 in Hannover, Germany.
