I thought it did ...?

It does, but you need to get a WiFi bridge. Given that WiFi cards (for a
consumer) are under £15, I wouldn't have thought it would add too much to
the price for what would be quite a good selling point; as it is, they're
clutching at the coat-tails of WiFi by saying that they support it...

Processor: VIA C3 1GHz
- Nice CPU, good performance (great for Ogg Vorbis), low heat output.
However, I've asked before (as it's quite important for a hi-fi
component) is this fanless? Sure, you're using fanless power supplies,
but there's no indication anywhere that you're using a fanless VIA C3.


It has no fans I seem to remember reading

That's interesting; I read that the power supplies were fanless but I
couldn't find where it gave any details about the CPU. Have you got a
link/reference to hand?


It's looking overpriced - 500UKP - and Cambridge haven't earned a good
reputation for build quality. I have one of these:

That looks pretty neat - I'll have a read up on that one... Thanks!

As I say, compression isn't a huge thing for me, and HDs can simply slot
in, like a cassette. It's well built and does the job. I'd pay for the
PC connectivity, silence and general verstaility, but for now a Mac
Mini, decent sound card and cheap screen seems more attractive.

I reckon the 640H will settle at around 300UKP, and at that price and
favourable reviews I could be persuaded.


I'd buy one for £300, faults 'n' all... )
