Photo shower Acer Aspire Revo
Hello.
Since yesterday, I finally figured out what to do with the Acer Aspire Revo test sample, which came to me with p305 and VisION. Due to the fact that this is the first nettop on ION-e, the entire network fills up with its reviews, and I won't be able to open anything substantially new. The only thing that seemed curious enough to me was the internal structure of the device. Moreover, most of the “autopsies” in the network did not go beyond the top cover.

In principle, I wanted to open up the p305, but because of the complexity of the design, in an intuitive way he did not understand. In addition, nVidia did not give me permission for such an act of vandalism, especially since it is the only sample in the country. However, Revo has long been in service, and it was possible to obtain permission for its opening.
To begin opening your Revo, you need to unscrew the single mounting bolt shown in the first picture. This bolt fixes the fastening of the top cover with the main body and is located in the groove for the stand.
After using the screwdriver to remove the top cover, the inside of the nettop will appear to your gaze. All elements are placed very compactly, immediately hit the eye: 160GB HDD Hitachi, two memory bars, a miniPCI-E wireless card and a processor-chipset heatsink.
In the corner you can see a small expansion handkerchief on which two USB2.0 ports and a power button are plugged. Near there is a jumper to reset the BIOS settings.
The button turned out to be quite small, and if you look at the outer (cabinet) part of the button, you can see why the power does not turn on when you press its lower part. The lower part presses the light guide only on the LED.
The standard miniPCI-E slot is located next to the hard drive, and it was very lacking in the VisION. In the standard configuration (models of last spring), the Atheros AR5B91 wireless controller is installed. The antenna is divorced inside the case, along the internal edges. Severe modders will be able to cut a hole for an external antenna and connect it themselves, losing the warranty. =)
This controller, if my memory serves me, behaves very lousy on systems running Windows XP. But if you really want it, you can replace it with an SDD drive , an 802.11n wireless module , or even a Yota Mobile WiMAX module (if it is accidentally available on the market).
Having removed the processor-chipset cooler, we can see the main nettop computing center. In the marketing materials of the company nVidia, Atom and ION act as co-processors, who co-operate with resource-intensive tasks.
Also beside me was a rtl8211cl - a gigabit network controller made by Realtek. Standard in general option, which is in almost every nettop.
Turn over the test subject. In principle, on the back wall there is nothing very interesting, except for marking Foxconn, which issues an OEM manufacturer of the motherboard and country of origin.
Here you can find the controllers responsible for the operation of the card reader and the built-in sound. They are also produced by Realtek.
The system has two SO-DIMM memory strips produced by the company Unifosa , which I am not familiar with . They can be replaced by more capacious counterparts, again losing the warranty.
The last thing I trust is the radiator used to cool the system. I would make it at least copper, and at most - thick. Perhaps in the new versions of Revo it was somehow finalized, but it is unlikely that he was put on copper. Fan noise is almost imperceptible, although maybe I just didn’t “warm up” the device enough.
In principle, I figured that if the Revo case is a couple of times larger than the VisION case, then there it will be possible to gently push the slot DVD drive. However, I was mistaken, there is too little space, and that’s enough for a compact floppy disk drive. But who needs it in such a modern device? =)
By the way, there is a chance that I can get photos of the insides of the Onkyo P305, but we are unlikely to see something significantly new there ...
