watch this space, but take a lot of breaks, it'll be a while.
Seems its not actually overclocked, they are using a slightly different chip which allows for this clock speed which is why it can get up to 2.2ghz, but I don't really approve of overclocking and I assked Jeff on his Youtube if he could also try stressing the GPU at the same time as the CPU cos that tends to generate the most heat, it might start to get hot then.
Yes the keyboard is clearly quite budget and not something I'd use for any major length of time, but I do think this is a magnificent thing bringing the spirit of 80's bedroom coding back. It seems the heat is spread by a very large heat sink which is in contact via a thermal pad, so it is running pretty cool even if the unit itself gets a bit warm.
I will be getting one in due course though, can't resist but probably just go for the basic unit as I have plenty of power adaptors and SD cards to test it out.
