New model A210

[nau]

Whats new?
just A200 in nice casing + passive cooling?
this is it?

[werner]

yes that is it

[cheaper_popcorn]

Sounds good enough for me. But where can we see the pictures?

EDIT: Ok, here they are: http://www.popcornhour.com/onlinestore/i...nItemId=24

Looks great - like what I would have liked the A-200 be like from the start.

if only they would provide the case for the a200 cheaper coz of the rubbish original!!

(not trying to start a bitching thread.. just saying)

[nau]

Gangel, no probs ;-)

you can buy it here, there is very very slight difference as i can see

[Specter]

So no one saw this comming? The same thing was done woith the A110 series.

So the question is can users wjho already own a A200 in the cheap case pay the $20 difference and just order the case and transfer the components themselves?

lol I doubt it, if you dont think a200 is worth the money dont buy it, This new A-210 seems to have everything I want, so I'm going to upgrade my A-100 to this new A-210 which finally is a fanless case!

Thats what i also would like to know... a200 is nice but case and fan/noise is crap. But to spend another 200 to get rid of this...

Its what we thought the A200 was going to look like on release on the forum.

[Atinkler]

So before I start to try and work out if I a) need this and b) try and talk the wife into thinking we need this - I need to know something .. do I want this?

My questions are I have the A110 and I'm happy with it but I do find it a bit slow even using a wired system and also the usenet client doesnt go above 900kbs

So, is this machine much faster? and if I'm happy with Oversight d/l my stuff overnight am I upgrading for the sake of it?

As you can tell I am already torn as between want and need!

Advice or user experience would be great

So nothing changed but the case? Also what about cooling, i don't see any holes in this case. Wonder how its going to compare heat wise to the existing a200 or the a200 with the custom case for that matter.

[chris57]

Correct nothing changed but the case from the looks.
I would imagine that it compares very much the same as the A200 with the Moovika case for temperature. Both rely on radiating the heat away through using metal components/heatsink.

Using the A200 means usenet downloads of around 2500kb/s if you have that speed from your ISP.

It also means that you can play BDMV, AVCHD, and BD ISO. It has better subtitle handling that the 100 series. It has Flashlite for NMJ and new Apps.

Can't come soon enough, as far as I'm concerned.

its never complete without a video intro... :0

[kevin1990]

Is it going to play AAC encoded using BeSweet with the HEv2 profile? The A200 used to but doesn't anymore
(I think i'm going to spam this forum, takes less time than converting the audio of 400 files to AAC+SBR...)
