A Closer Look
At the time of receiving the HS4 from Tranquil, the box stickers were being printed (hence the plain looking front). Obviously that doesn’t stop us from reviewing the hardware and we should have the stickers in the next few days.
So watch out for the exclusive UWHS hands-on review of the Tranquil PC Leo HS4 Windows Home Server 2011 box shortly.

ok, so this has the i3 motherboard, that means only 4 bays for drives, right ?
How about some photo’s of the inside ? I would like to see how they set up the heat sink.
thats right John – the 5th bay is not usable because of a heat sink
I will do lots of photos 🙂
I am also very interested in what they did with the heatsink, looking to do something similar with my BBS2, if you do have more photos of the inside of the case that would be appreciated.

Unfortunately they are the only photos I could get and the unit has now been returned to Tranquil following the review.
