ASUS Mini PC

Barebone
A barebone computer is a half-assembled platform that consists of a case with a power supply, a motherboard preinstalled into the system case, and a cooling system. Barebone computers are usually designed in a non-standard way and cannot be assembled out of widely available hardware parts. The purchaser of such a platform only has to equip it with a CPU, RAM, hard drive and additional input/output devices depending on his/her own needs.

ASUS
ASUS was founded in 1989 in Taiwan by TH Tung, Ted Hsu, Wayne Hsieh and MT Liao. Then Jonney Shih joined ASUS in 1994. According to the ASUS sales manager Alexander Kim (Russian interview, October 2003) the name ASUS originated from Pegasus, the winged horse of Greek mythology, seen as symbol of success and revival. The first three letters were dropped to give the resulting name a high position in alphabetical listings, then the company name was completed to "ASUSTeK Computers Incorporated".
