Exclusive Shots Of Abit Sff - Digidice!

Well I got dragged to Barcelona by ABIT and I saw this...

Bit more information you can overclock on the fly. You can also use the short cut buttons on the front to copy cds etc. It monitors everything and with the LCD you can do some other clever stuff.

You need to remember this is a mockup not final. The cooling solution will change to a heatpipe one - but so far looks very impressive. Launch at end of September.

Is there an AGP socket in there somewhere david?. I can see 3 back plates, but i can only see the first pci slot?

I'm sure there would be, but could you confirm for me?

Thanks

Currently it has 1AGP and 1PCI but will have 2 PCI.

Uses Springdale G chipset too.

Tig, you see the darkish slot with a white tab, thats AGP!

DR · 13-08-2003, 02:10 PM

It is a little bigger than a shuttle but turned sideways - so not as deep.

Now that is lovely, looks like it could be used as a home cinema box... What spec is it running David?

@tig - Can't really see from photo, but is that not a vga port on the backplane? Might just be my eyes though..

DR · 13-08-2003, 02:12 PM

Takes a P4, and the usual. Can take up to 2 Hard drives without thermal problems.

Also runs <25dBA

Yep see it now, only the last photo gives that away, plus it didn't hurt to ask. Springdale G is the Intel Xtreme graphics version i take it?. Thats why its got the VGA adapter at the bottom.

Got a small psu like the shuttle = noisy and a weeny cpu fan and rear fan

Not to mention the lovely grey exterior.

Not that impressed tbh. Hopefully theyll come out with something worth a 2nd look in a future revision like shuttle.

This boxen has all kinds of potential!! I like it... I like it a lot!!

**St3v3** · 13-08-2003, 04:07 PM

looks very nice, did they say if the case would come in different colours?

Also the case looks as if it can fit Mini-ATX motherboards so a nice range of motherboards could be used.

Don't know if i'd use its overclocking tools though, I don't like the idea of overclocking in SFF cases

They are going to bring out a black one as well.

It takes FlexATX boards.

**luke313** · 13-08-2003, 05:37 PM

Looks like the MSI thing but without that tacky looking plastic on the front.

**Zak33** · 13-08-2003, 06:59 PM

AGP slot is inboard quite a distance..ie near the centre of the mobo.

On Davids current shuttle the AGP slot is right next to the casing....

Quite notably diffferent architecture.

And better for cooling
