Gigabyte's Brix Pro is a funky device

During CES 2014 Gigabyte already uncovered the product, but check out the Brix Pro DIY PC kit, a small media powerhouse with Intel’s new and more powerful Iris Pro 5200 integrated graphics. The Brix Pro's should shine as a beefy home theater PC, or as a miniature PC used for lightweight gaming or graphics editing.

Available in two versions, this 62mm x 114.4mm x 111.4mm system comes with an Intel Core i7-4770R or Core i5-4570R processor and Iris Pro 5200 series integrated graphics. Other features include two DDR3-1600 memory slots, Gigabit LAN, 802.11a/b/g/n/ac WiFi, Bluetooth 4.0, 2.5" SATA 6Gbps HDD and mSATA SSD support, HDMI-out, Mini-DisplayPort, and four USB 3.0 ports. The BRIX Pro uses a 135W power adapter and has a max noise level of 35.9dBA in load. Pricing starts at $529.

That thing is a little beast. It's $649 @ newegg for the i7-4770R setup.
Sounds perfect for an HTPC. And its

tiny

@ 62 x 111.4 x 114.4 mm. That's a little smaller than 3x 120mm case fans stacked up!

Neat little HTPC. But why call it 'DIY' when its practically already assembled?

Exactly. Plus why did they opt for eye-screwing red? Sure it'll be difficult to lose it, but they should also think about the negative aspects of such paint.
