Viewsonic VOT 132 ION Nettop Reviewed - Good but Noisy

Bit-tech has a review up of the ION powered, dual-core Atom 330 Viewsonic VOT132 nettop and pretty much gets good scores for everything except fan noise:

The result is a fan that annoyingly spins continually up and down with a system just sat idling on the desktop. Should you start to actually use any software the fan will spin up to the approximate noise level of a working optical drive. For a small, low power box that shouldn’t produce more than 25w of heat, this a little ridiculous, and very much spoils a lot of the VOT 132’s appeal, especially for use as a media player or out of sight, out of mind nettop tucked behind a monitor.

Sounds just like the experience I had with the FunTwist Fiono 330 ION nettop.

Specs for the VOT132 include: an Atom 330 processor, ION graphics, 802.11n Wi-Fi, 320GB HDD, 2GB RAM and Windows 7 Home Premium.

It’s available available at Amazon.com for $471 and Buy.com for $460.
