Sapphire, better known for making computer graphics cards, has ventured into making full computers.   Their first effort is a nettop called the Sapphire Mini PC Edge-HD and in a nod to their pedigree, the Edge-HD has a focus on high performance graphics. Under the hood of this nettop is an NVIDIA ION 2 graphics card bundled with a low power 1.66 GHz Intel Atom D510 dual core processor.

There’s also a 250GB 2.5 inch hard drive, 2G of DDR2 memory, HDMI and VGA ports, 4 USB 2.0 ports, audio jacks, and 10/100/1000 Mbps Ethernet. It also comes with 802.11b/g/n WiFi.

The nettop is expected to run about $300, and that price seems to include 1GB USB flash drive with drivers as well as an HDMI cable, HDMI to DVI adapter and a stand.
