looks fanless

It doesn't really need a fan, at least it shouldn't need one as it has a very low TDP, thus a passive heatsink should be enough. I am looking forward to these Bay Trail boards, especially considering the price.

The last Celeron I bought was when I wanted to bypass the Pentium II at 466.. And that bastard did at cooler temps too(with a nice fan of course).

Wondering why the socket is rotated by 45 degrees? Just something that you don't see everyday.

There's no socket, the chip is directly soldered to the board. I suspect the chip is oriented that way to facilitate easier routing of the circuitry.

Okay, that could be one reason. Anyways I knew that the CPU is soldered there, but I did not knew what to call it, hence I called it socket.

This would have been awesome with two internet ports. That PCIE slot would be great for a raid card and then it would have made a super nice low powered NAS.
