I used to have one of them with a HD plugged. They perform quite well, as long as you keep them cool enough under high load (which you cannot do passively). In fact I was building the userland on a VIA Eden 1 GHz and this melted the plastic plugs which keep the cooler in touch with the processor. Building it with some cooling aggregates on top (yes, the one from the fridge you normally use for cooling your beer while travelling) even allowed me to build the jdk-stuff without a single poweroff caused by overheating ;) You see, not quite what it promises. If you don't expect high loads and put the board in a suitable chassis, you will be quite happy with that. Otherwise, don't waste your money. All the best, /Markus

All the best, /Markus hi I've got a Via card powered by a Eden N 1GHz I've removed the fan and replaced it with a zalman ZM-NB47J cooler http://www.zalman.co.kr/eng/product/view.asp?idx=71code=014 Running ok, the box has been a firewall, a mailserver and is now a file server. -- Thom/ange http://ange.librium.org

Also I have found a dual, eden fanless 1GHz. http://www.crn.com/sections/testcenter/whitebox/whitebox.jhtml?articleId=17 3402172 I doubt there are boards out for the new 1.5GHz fanless yet though.

Perhaps with a large enough, or well enough desinged heat sink, or if the cpu's are clocked down far enough, the fan isn't necessary. Just read the whole article...hmm...interesting http://www.epiacenter.com/pictures/news/2006/epia_cn.jpg Now that is a heatsink. I'm looking for a fanless VIA with the Padlock crypto system and was hoping someone may already have practical experience with recent versions. Regards...Martin

I know an organization that has 27 of the Dual CPU boards each with an additional 4 port USB 2.0 card. They're trying to get them interconnected with USB 2.0 bridge cables as a hypercube. diana
