News Macpower DigiDoc 5+ at Virtual-Hideout

Virtual-Hideout.Net takes a closer look at the latest from Macpower, the DigiDoc 5+. After an absence of more than two years, the DigiDoc makes a comeback into the scene:

​

"As cool a product as it was, the DigiDoc still suffers some setbacks in it's design. First of all, many modders gives a boo-boo to the amber backlit LCD as we are all sick of green and amber and a blue backlit LCD was the only thing deemed worthy of any modified case! The 5.25" bracket design allows you to install a hard drive behind the unit to fully utilize the drive bay but with all the cables and a puny 40mm fan, installation is a tight squeeze and cooling is nothing to shout about. A lot of peeps were wondering why the position for the 40mm fan wasn't used for something else, like a USB/Firewire port instead. These are just some of the quirks but other companies take cue from there and soon, there was a myriad of other controllers/monitoring devices available that the DigiDoc simply got buried and forgotten."
