Yep they would probably vacuum the exhaust to the upper right again (back).

that's not nice bro.Slayer-33 said:That probably won'tbe therestay if this turns out to be true for retail. (They will remove it)
Kotaku's random Intel statements are incorrect, but the motherboard pictures they took from a Chinese message board are most likely real.Fakto said:So ... Kotaku is right ? Reading a lot of contradictions in here >,<
as others said, it's a cpu cooler for testing purposes. the vent is either on the right or rear.derFeef said:Yep, besides the fan and its positioning (wtf top-exhaust??), it looks very real.
Sure, but it would be smaller then, which we know, is not good But it is going to be what Slayer said - vacuum system.miladesn said:as others said, it's a cpu cooler for testing purposes. the vent is either on the right or rear.
a modern gpu cooler would be cool.Psychotext said:Slap a modern GPU cooler on that and internalise the HDD and I'll bite.

But what about my custom faceplate??!
gofreak said:Size comparison, unless I messed something up:
And yeah, it does point to a new case I think. Sometimes you can have internal revisions that make the motherboard smaller on one dimension, but keep the proportions for the external connectors etc. For this MB the current case would be too deep to expose the back connectors, for starters.
By the looks of it, anyway, the width should be a third smaller, depth slightly smaller, and height? We'll have to wait and see I guess.
edit - I used the motherboard holes and (what I think is) the HANA chip to scale these. I think they were safe reference points...

JaseC said:the HDD port on the left is gone, it's possible that they've move it to top of the box using wires, but it's not likely IMO. your points are valid but the port isn't there at the moment. it's too soon to jump to a conclusion, we know nothing yet.
miladesn said:The HDDs themselves aren't the problem (MS use WD drives, don't they?) It's the fact they use a proprietary enclosure that's required to connect the thing to the system. MS are already "sharing the wealth" due to the fact they're not using their own HDDs. The crux of your point still stands true, though - I can't see MS following Sony and allowing users to install whichever compatible drive they wish.

You probably mean a blog post, ne.ciaossu said:.
Find anything that looks remotely like news or a rumor and there will be a Kotaku article about it.
There are a lot of signs that this is real, imho.ciaossu said:.
Find anything that looks remotely like news or a rumor and there will be a Kotaku article about it. Not sure why they keep trying. That Cooler Master fan should be a dead giveaway, but nope.
miladesn said:No way that's an optical in, what's the use anyway? it's probably an optical out, so those who want to use HDMI and optical audio at the same time can do it without the special cable that was bundled with the Elites or breaking the plastic casing of the A/V cable.
Remind you of the PS3 slim leak much? :lolKAL2006 said:So is this legit or not, seems like some people are saying fake and some people saying real.

Psychotext said:There's actually just about enough info to work out what the new faceplate would look like (not height wise) there... I must admit though that I tried, but don't have the skill to put it together.
It appears that there's both an IR receiver and the "controller sync" button still at the front. Receiver is between the memory slots and the ring of light (marked USB in image). The sync button is to the left of the central mounting point.
Regarding the memory slots, that's exactly what I thought (especially as they're exactly the right width). Regarding the USB vs Ring of Light... it doesn't look exactly like the old one, but then it doesn't look like the old USB either. That could just mean they made it differently (not unlikely given they'd be slimming down the box) as I think it's unlikely that they flat out removed it.gofreak said:You seem to know your bits from your bobs, but what makes us sure that the thing marked USB is the ring of light? It doesn't really look like the corrosponding one on the old motherboard, or look wholly unlike a usb box. Neither does the thing marked memory, look like the memory 'bits' on the old motherboard. I've a feeling the bit marked memory is for memory cards, but it's two stacked on top of each other.
Hmm.
Not at all. PS3 slim leak thread was at 15 pages by the time I had woken up.Psychotext said:Remind you of the PS3 slim leak much? :lol
In fairness, if we just had a motherboard to go on, that would have likely gone the same way.esc said:Not at all. PS3 slim leak thread was at 15 pages by the time I had woken up.
Yeah, that's true. I think the majority said it was bullshit at first 'cause of the weird form factor. Perhaps we're a little more accepting due to that experience.Psychotext said:In fairness, if we just had a motherboard to go on, that would have likely gone the same way.
My comparison was more that a bunch of people said it was legit, a bunch said bullshit.
