Wait a minute, no heatsinks? Surely it needs one?[/QUOTE]

Yep, it uses two heatsinks . One heatsink covers both the CPU and the north bridge and has a fan on it on the 1.8GHz SKU. The 1.0GHz version is fanless. The CPU is the smaller of the two by the way. The south bridge also has a smaller fanless heatsink. Anyone fancy some photos? I have one right here next to me.
