The latest instalment of AOpen’s XC Cube range, the EZ482, looks like a step backward when you examine the exterior design. In fact, the EZ482 looks identical to the first generation of XC Cubes from the outside. But as we know appearance isn’t everything and internally it’s quite a different beast altogether. This is AOpen’s first XC Cube with support for Socket-939 Athlon 64 processors and component video output, not that the two are specifically related of course.
The review sample of the EZ482 that I had a look at was black, although colours might vary depending on the country in which you buy it. Although I’m not a fan of this specific front design the finish is of a high quality and very glossy, so it’s good that AOpen supplies a polishing cloth to wipe grubby finger prints off.
