Not sure about the innards, but I just came across a minitar unit that is
physically VERY similar...

Given that the status LEDs are in the same place and the antennae are
identical I would guess it's built by the same OEM. There are obvious
hardware differences though, the MSI doesn't have a USB port or printer
server...

So, anyone know about hacking Minitars then? ;)

Cheers.
