Cape 7

Hi all,

I'm just wondering if anyone has one of Cape 7's yet? (http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=FS-002-NV&groupid=43&catid=1446&subcat=)

I'm particularly interested in the noise, since it may have to handle some basic network duties in addition to playing media and I don't sleep well with fans whirring. Ideally I'd like something with a passive board (as seen in the Zotac ion board available form OCUK)

Cheers!

Super super quiet, there is a fan in them as shown in the BIOS but it has variable speed and you cant hear it even with your ear on the top of the casing.

One of these came through technical yesterday, by the end of the day all of the stock had been sold to builders for Christmas presents for family.

Comes with a VESA bracket to mount to the back of a TV, wireless adapter that fits the casing perfectly and it is built to a very high standard. Brilliant little bit of kit, favourite bit of ION kit to cross OcUK's doors by far.

Sounds like a winner, thanks.

It really is an awesome piece of kit. Been playing with it all week at work. Streams 1080p video flawlessly. Played COD4 without a hitch along with Counter Strike:Source & WoW.

Considering one just for going to LAN's, It's that portable & powerful

Is it dual core?

I understood the N230 to be single core.

oh dear, need the 330. 230 is just to underpowered.

CoD4 really? What res/quality were you using?
