Home Shopping Network??? Who thought we'd actually be learning about useful new technology from a TV infomertial... LOL

BTW, no I really have no idea on the differences...

its just a different layout, which i assume changes for efficiency both on the data flow and/or device placement...

There are also supposed to be differences in efficiency when cooling is considered. Components are now placed in such ways that the heat generated by them is more easily gotten rid of.
