We have been looking for some time for a sensible compromise between a small yet expandible PC system and we now believe we have found it with the help of one of the worlds foremost motherboard and graphics card manufactures, namely ABIT. Thus InfoQuest Systems are pleased to introduce the new and innovative DigiDice gaming mini PC. Built and tested by InfoQuest engineers for your enjoyment.

The gaming mini PC market has been exploding recently, and with the entry of the ABIT Engineered DigiDice, it’s about to go thermo-nuclear. ABIT’s DigiDice mini PC goes where other mini PCs doDigiDice backpack for gaming mini PCsn’t even dare. While other manufacturers have added all kinds of colourful looking but useless features, ABIT gives power users a high performance mini PC with more features and expansion capabilities than the competition: room for 2 hard disks, 2 ATAPI devices (CD/DVD(RW) drives) and an AGP and PCI slot as well as the most advanced and silent cooling solution available for any mini PC. ABIT’s DigiDice also is the most stylish and tasteful package ever designed to house PC hardware, and we’ve even optionally included a cool DigiDice backpack for LAN partiers on the go.

One Touch Multimedia

DigiDice mini PC OC control knobLocated right above the OC knob are 4 programmable hot keys that make using DigiDice’s various multimedia functions a breeze. The keys are easily programmed inside Windows to run your favourite application. With one touch, users can play DVDs or VCDs, listen to CDs, audio DVDs or MP3s, browse photos or copy a DVD/CD.

One click overclocking

DigiDice mini PC overclockingThe ABIT DigiDice follows in the ABIT tradition by putting overclocking abilities in the hands of those who dare practice the Black E-Art. DigiDice offers two ways to overclock your system. Users can still tweak the DigiDice for customized performance through ABIT Softmenu™, the original overclockers BIOS interface. We’ve also included an easy overclocking front controller knob, which offers 5 different settings for a quick hit when power is needed during intense applications. The ABIT DigiDice is available using the Intel 865G chipset. Onboard graphics can be easily upgraded to a high end Doom3-worthy gaming beast thanks to the AGP slot.

LCD Hardware Monitoring

DigiDice mini PC LCD monitor panelWith DigiDice, ABIT wanted to make a useful LCD panel that would appeal to casual users as well as the most hardcore PC enthusiast. The LCD panel on the DigiDice displays useful information such as CPU and fan speed for the overclockers, as well as a temperature warning when things get out of hand.

Multimedia Connectivity

DigiDice multimedia inputsThe front panel is loaded with features including a Firewire port, 2 USB ports and a card reader for Memory Stick and CF cards, plus a headphone jack. 2 DIMMS means Mini PC multi optical drivesup to 2 GB of DDR 400 memory, making DigiDice a powerful unit for just about any application you can throw at it. Serial ATA is offered for true data-enthusiasts. And of course, in true mini PC tradition both units also offer 6-channel audio and onboard LAN.

OTES: The Rise of Cooling

DigiDice OTES coolingWith the demands that users put on their systems, ABIT felt it was absolutely necessary to have only a high performance, tried and tested cooling solution that could cope with extreme temperatures while adhering to the Silent PC Standard of 25 decibels. They chose their own patented OTES (Outside Thermal Exhaust System), as no other cooling solution on the market exhausts heat out of the back of the PC case, reducing overall ambient case temperature. OTES is ABIT’s own thermal solution: no other cooling solution cools like OTES. That’s why it’s patented.
