    Hi freck

    I'm wouldn't have one and here's why

    imo
    1. fed up with odd shaped boxes under my tv. Nothing quite fits or stacks.
    2. where is the heat going to go in the above situation?
    3. I'm an old guy and I like separate HiFi Boxes, not mono-box midi systems.
    4. If its the same thing but smaller and still does the same thing, then someone is saving some money somewhere in the build. Which means when it goes wrong its harder to fix.
    5. Small is good when you have to cary it around, Mp3 player, Phone, Netbook etc. (Or park it).

        Ehm ok...I always respect my elders even if I dont totally agree with everything they say.Times are changing and things will get naturally smaller and unstackable(doesnt work with me...the whole stacking thing).Smaller means more room and no need to stack
        Plenty of vents on the TM500 so ample heat distribution,thanks for your points tho as I did ask.
        Respect

            Only real difference is size and a little more memory.

                  , I'm out.

                  Technomate really ought to have a word with themselves, there is a backlog of TM Linux hardware with firmware issues that still haven't been fixed, so what do they do, yup they release another Linux box, it seems Team UR just aren't capable of what's asked of them.

                          TM 800HD My first Linux box after two good experiences with Technomate, 5400 USB+ and then 6900HD Combo. Both excellent machines IMHO
                          After buying the TM800HD I'm thinking WOW! Holy S*** What have I let myself in for!

                          Imagine Ford releasing a new Focus RS but only the engine works. Well kind of. And we're still working on reverse gear, hope to bring that out soon. Meanwhile, just keep driving forward around the block and check with us every few days. Oh, and the central locking...we're working on that too! Horn works OK though. If the windows are fully up. . . . . . . . Meep Meep!! Oh...the screen washers are coming on when you do that....

                          C'mon TM ....... Sort it out!

                            Hopefully the 800HD will get the Image it deserves, as has happened with others.
                            Oh and dude, this is a TM500 Super thread..
