Jay posted a pretty comprehensive review of the board. http://links.amd.com/ZinoHD Thanks, that's ideal :) It does look to be an excellent little unit, I am somewhat disappointed by the idle power - Mac Mini is only 14W (and double the price) I even left it on overnight in my bedroom and it was onl...

Dell Zino HD (Mac Mini alternative)

Now available
http://www.engadget.com/2009/11/10/dell ... n-ireland/

Anyone know the idle power consumption for this system? Dell 'live chat' is unhelpful, they just quote the peak power load back at you i.e. 65W & 75W

And of course: is it actually quiet?

Thanks.

Antec Mini P180: will it accomodate a Scythe Ninja HSF?

Hi, I've been happily using a full size Antec P180 and Scythe Ninja with 120mm fan, but now I would like to reclaim some space in my office & move to a smaller m-atx system. Will my full height Scythe Ninja fit comfortably into the Mini P180? Alternative case or fan combination suggestions welcome i...
