will it need the sub board to make HD function? also,does it have a fan?
just wondering if anyone knows.also the cost,and if the 8000 sub board will work in it.

[Tirconnell]

Good valid questions alomb ,

But until the official release it is hard to tell . I can only Assume that it has a cooling fan on-board as well as being designed to accept the 8-pak sub board . As for price that also we will have to wait on , So Hurry Up and Wait ,,,:D

[No_PaRoLe]

Any ETA on the release....
