ACube delivers yet again for Amigans world wide:banana::knuddel::banana:

The Sam440ep and flex models obviously sold well in order for ACube to even consider making the 460ex....great news indeed!

Notes: the SATA2 port and the PCI-e 1x slot are mutually exclusive, only one of them can be used at a time

hmm.. basically gonna have to buy an extra ide/sata controller card if you want hd's + cdroms...

That's a pretty weird design decision for a home computer, which leads me to believe they're doing pretty well in the industrial/embedded market.
