it's included Ethernet port the card reader supports SD SDHC SDXC and micro SD SDHC SDXC cards and USB flash drives everything you need to get started except for your actual media is included in the box alright folks so there you have it everything about the new gigabyte Brix pearl like I said this thing is not geared for hardcore gaming but for media streaming thing this thing is pretty damn cool now obviously because it's so small it is pretty priced this thing's about $600 now I know a lot of people are going to want to leave their comment below going oh screw that I can build a PC for better than that yeah I'm sure that you can but now answer this glass sleep can you build a PC this small because if you can't seriously shut up like because like I know you can build a giant Tower for cheaper but when you can build a system that's this tiny then that's saying something like I said earlier in the video the parts that we use inside of this we use a 240 gigabyte intel SSD the 530 series and we also used 8 gigabytes of Kingston so-dimm memory so I'm Eric thanks for watching tech of tomorrow all this information will be down there below like button all the equipment that we use this video spend a lot of people out there ask what did you guys use to make this video we'll have all of that down to the like button I hope you guys like this video so hit that like button while you're down there and show us that we're appreciated I'm Eric thanks for watching Tector tomorrow if you're not subpage you know what to do see ya I have you
