Very good spec for the price but I've never heard of MSI before.

Many budget PCs use MSI motherboards, they've been around years. Packard-Bell used them, on a friend's PC. Probably no better and no worse than any other, apart from really top-end stuff

Aye, have a Msi netbook, so far it's been alright, no big issues, although i've modded mine a bit, so if it fails it might not be Msi's fault!
You can overclock the msi wind/advent 4211, which is a handy feature alright.
