Thanks, but no specific Qns right now, maybe later I'll spend a bit longer to work out how to get into that forum...

Stupid forum wants me to sign-up before I can read anything, how lame, it's made even more tricky by the fact that I can't read polish.

Weird, I can't read that thread you linked to!!!

Thanks for the "heads-up" buddy!

I was going to get it, but I think I'm more interested in it's RU form-factor siblings, they're way more flexible in terms of expandability/upgrade-ability. I don't care too much about HTPC/PVR abilities, I already have a dedicated HEPC/HTPC... Of course, it's RU siblings are generally more...

I've read it's better in many respects, but this isn't a outright "fact", right, I mean it sounds like QNAP's OS has been improving significantly lately!? Thanks buddy, I'll definitely be souring the QNAP community forums soon... One thing I'm still not clear on, is how the entire QNAP range...

Thanks! I'm most interested in the 870 (& the rack-mount equivalents), roomier than 470 hence more room to better manage thermal dissipation, + much more room for storage expansion longer-term. Seems like there's all sorts of "hackery" going on in the QNAP community forum*, thought it wouldn't...

Thanks, that addresses the last point/Qn, I don't suppose you can address the final 3 points/Qns that came before it?

No, the 530 is 1156. Ah that's right... Yes, with Qnap the pro and standard models have always used the same internals, they just add LCD screens and locking drive trays to pro models. Hmm, I actually like those little extra things, I wonder if folks are adding "after-market" touches like...

*BUMP* @AthlonX2 @TheLostSwede @anyone Thank-you.

Okay, I hope AthlonX2 can answer that Qn to you then, & hopefully he/TheLostSwede can address the other points/Qns raised, thank-you!

I wish you reviewed the TS-470 Pro, that's the range I'm most interested in... Nice, I have an old Core i3-530 lying around (can't recall what socket it is), I wonder if it's usable. Are you absolutely sure? Source for this? So you reckon even the newest Ivy range might be usable? Have you...

Awesome news! Can't wait for P-860 to come out, FINALLY.

Nah, I looked at the koolance site & the only full-cover there, is for the 570/580. I've added it to my OP, but I doubt it'll be suitable... :( Plus @16mm, it's likely to be too thick, to be truly single slot!

Built-in amp practical... :) Can do your own mods to make it as good as (or close to) any discrete. And then you don't have to mess with 2x physically sep. devices. Anyhoo back on topic... What I wanna know is, why all the silence on this thing now? Heard absolutely nothing... has it...
