T2 FAQ
  • What PCI cards can be used ?
    Answer - any PCI card (up to 2) that measure up to 200mm in depth.
  • What about power consumption of the PCI cards and numerous hard disk drives ?
    Answer - the standard PSU is adequate for all motherboard / CPU options + 2x HDD + 1x slim line optical + 2x PCI cards.
  • Does the unit get hot ?
    Answer - No, under idle conditions the diode on the CPU will report a temperature of approx 10-12 c above ambient. If a VIA CPU is run hard (100%) for extended periods, the CPU diode may report temperatures of 60-75 c i.e. 40-55 c above ambient (which is well within the specification of 85 c for the VIA CPUs) - but this is not the temperature of the external heat sink, this may be warm to the touch. If a Pentium M CPU is run hard (100%) for extended periods, the CPU diode may report temperatures of 45-55 c i.e. 25-35 c above ambient (which is well within the specification of 100 c for the Pentium M CPUs) - but this is not the temperature of the external heat sink, this may be warm to the touch.
  • Is the IR RX free ?
    Answer - Yes, the IR RX device, which is a standard 38KHz infrared decoder IC, is supplied as standard - and is free.  A short cable is provided that allows you to connect the IR RX device, internally, to your PVR card etc.  Only for the knowledgeable PC / electronics user.  Alternatively, order your unit with a PVR card.
