I just saw the new A2000 from Via, looks pretty fancy

[url=http://www.via.com.tw/en/products/embedded/artigo/a2000/index.jsp][/url]

I just don't see any air-intakes (there is a fan and exhaust) but nowhere for that fan to get it's air from as far as I can see.

There is no "air flow" holes in the backplane for the harddrives, so I see no airflow over the harddrives which is pretty much my main concern, to keep those drives from overheating.

Anyone got their hands on one of these babies and can tell how they run? Is airflow a big problem with this thing? I know how hot my 1 300gig drive external alu case gets, it would be horrible with 2 huge drives in that one with no ventilation from what I can see.

opinions/experiences wanted please

Maybe with some severe modding of the front, removing most of it except the bottom and make a grill for air intake?
