PCStats has posted a Gigabyte M1600A Multimedia DVD-ROM Review
It looks like a car stereo and performs some of the same functions, but is far from that. The M1600A from Gigabyte is both DVD player and audio console combined, and what's more, it will run with the rest of the PC turned off. Dial in your favourite FM radio station while slugging it through a long word document, or after a hard day when the last thing you want to do hear is noisy cooling fans. The M1600A plays CD's and MP3 CD's, with or without the computer powered up, and features FM radio presets and a very cool electoluminescent/VFD sound level display up front. The DVD/CDROM lies hidden behind the front control panel, and with the push of a button that easily folds down so that disc's can be changed. A control card and AC/adaptor are part of the reason why the M1600A can operate autonomous from the rest of the PC. The control card provides the power backup, FM radio antenna connection, and in/out audio jacks for the M1600A.Read more
