Up front, users can find two USB ports, a microphone and headphone jack, an e-SATA port, as well as a CF, MS/SD/MMC, and SM/XD reader. The back of the unit hosts PS/2 ports for the mouse and keyboard, four USB ports, Firewire, Ethernet port, line-in, front line-out, back surround line-out, side surround line-out, centre/subwoofer line-out, as well as an HDMI, DVI-I, and S-Video out.
Located on top of the case is an HDD bay designed for Medion’s HDDrive 2 Go Ultraspeed hard drive. This drive will be available starting on October 1 for $129 (see more information here), which is good as it can act as a secondary drive to store additional data.
