BIOSTAR - BIOSTAR iDEQ 200N Review

Thanks to Biostar, we have the iDEQ 200N SFF barebones system up for review. Not only does it feature some of the best features available for an AMD board, such as Realtek ALC 650 6-channel audio, Serial ATA (two ports!), LAN and dual-channel DDR, but it also sports some innovative case and heatsink design. The case / system looked awesome in the pics on the Internet that I found, but I was curious upon receiving this Biostar iDEQ 200N SFF unit how it would be in person - see for yourself.

…If you’re looking for a fully powered machine that takes up approximately 1/3 the space of a mid- to full-tower (depends on how you qualify cases) but that will still give you a host of features and run silently, this could very well be the SFF system for you. The Biostar iDEQ 200N is now my mobile system I use for work and gaming and any other application that requires power and portability. The only thing I had problems and concerns with is when using the system in a hot environment due to the very limited cooling provided. But if you are going to use the system in an office or other air conditioned place or any cool place (25 C or below), I foresee a very pleasant and productive relationship between you and the iDEQ 200N.
