Aopen XC Cube AV (EA65)

Here's an interesting mini HTPC: http://www.tomshardware.com/howto/20040715/index.html

I'm interested in the EA65-II, which lists a stronger power supply and heat pipe heatsink.

I've seen one of those it's just fabulous. If only the PSU were a little less noisy...

btw, at the place I saw it, it was dead silent. But I also bought a Papst fan from the place, tested it there for noise, heard none, came back home and HORROR! the Papst was noisier than my whole rig!! Ambient noise at shops is way too high.

Yea, I'm waiting for different review, like from techreport.com, something a bit more in depth. I'd like to see how difficult it would be to swap the power supply fan and such, also, I would like to see the 65-II version, with heat pipe cooling, which may be quieter, that has a 270Watt power supply.

It does look quite interesting, though.
