Giada D300 Bare-Bones Computers Announced

That feature will allow the new bare-bones system to be used in IT departments or large enterprises.

The computer system has two SO-DIMM slots for RAM supporting up to 16 GB of DDR3-1333/1600 RAM. The board used inside the machine also has a pair of mini-PCIe slots allowing the installation of additional peripherals.

The front panel of the computer features ports for a microphone and headphones, two USB 3.0 ports, and two serial COM ports. A version the machine is also available that lacks those COM ports. The back of machine has three additional audio connectors, a pair of Ethernet ports, four USB 2.0 ports, and the DVI, VGA, and HDMI connectivity. Pricing for the machines will depend on the package chosen and will be announced at a later date.
