So, who would want a receiver with only 2 rows of vents, or 3, or 5, when you can have 8 rows of vents! LOL! Though, I have to admit, I do like the 5 rows of vents on the HDD cover!

OK.
Your first link goes to an advertisement from 2009. Google translated it for me and I copied the translation below. The advertised price was $420 Euro which would bring it to around $500.00 U.S. if there is a shipping charge.

AZBOX Premium HD + Dual DVB-S2 tuner
As we suspected, AZBOX well prepared for a new version of its popular AZBOX Premium HD AZBOX as the Premium HD +. The new version will be completely different from the first because the motherboard will be larger. On the other hand, the case will propose a hatch on the top of the unit for easier access to the location of the internal hard disk. As on the previous model, the location on the hard disk will be mounted on anti-vibration pads to reduce noise writing. Finally, there will be a priori no internal fan.
Price: about 420 € "
Your second link goes to a China website that starts out with the AZBox with all the extra top vents. That is the only time they show that picture. When you scroll on down, you will see Receiver pictures of the AZBox that are identical to mine.
My guess is this AZBox Premium Plus does not exist except in pictures, but I have no way to prove that.
I do know you have to watch China advertisers very closely because what they send you may only resemble what was in the picture.
About $300.00 U.S. shipped for your second link. I did not pay near that for mine! EB.

True, as long as there are enough to do the job, and I don't recall offhand heating issues with the Premium Plus, or with the unit I have, the Ultra HD. Only issues I recall hearing about have been after the installation of a HDD (and, of course, that depends on the type of HDD installed), therefore, my comment about the HDD cover vents. Of course, the number it has probably would be overkill and might detract from the air flow of the rest of the unit, but a couple of rows would have helped for those with a problem.

the arswer to the HDD heat problem is a simple fix, at the back of the HDD tray you need to drill some air holes, not in the cover or the
case, just the tray, if you take off the HDD cover and look at the back of the tray with the HDD still in it you will see there is no way for
air to pass over the HDD, putting some air holes in the tray will fix it.

Yes to most and more. and you can also install an internal hard drive,,It a huge beast, well built and very hard to kill..you may also load various firmwares from other compatible boxes that offers many different features,,some work well, some not as well..Best box I have ever owned.
Ask EB..LOL..have a look at the Raptor forums for more info..
I should add this is all done by the main operating system and you have the option of installing enigma2 for a second operating system to expand even more.Last edited by ViP3R; 03-15-2013 at 02:27 PM.
