OOS for now.

It seems to be the loudest of the bunch. If you don't mind the fan noise, that's definitely a hot price for it.

 

[monkeydelmagico]

Pretty sweet deal esp. if you want any of the games currently being offered with it.

What...they couldn't hire more people to come with more words in their model names?

 

[digitaldurandal]

Actually each word in the title of the device means something

iPower is a feature that not all of their models have
ice q x^2 is the cooler
and OC means its overclocked

Would you prefer that model names were in Emojii script, rather than English? I don't think so!
