    It looks like they're going for a full-bore release then - launch, reviews and volume availability all around the same time!

    Also, that looks like a pretty small heatsink!

    It feels way too early for this ramp in rumours if we still have a week to go. I wonder how the heatsink is constructed? It looks like they drill a hockey-puck shaped hole in the aluminium extrusion, but it seems to me that a copper bar inserted across the fins would spread the heat better and be similar in terms of machining (you'd only need a slot milled)

    Gibbo on OcUK said they originally wanted to hit £199.99 for the 8GB model but the weaker pound now means at least £220.
