  "We were all together late one night, kicking around lots of crazy ideas when I proposed it would be really cool if we could combine the warmth and depth - tonal realism, if you will - of the sound produced by an audio tube, with one of our state-of the-art motherboards" says Al Peng, product manager at AOpen America Inc., an audiophile for more than 10 years.

  AOpen Announces their 845GE/PE Boards with Vacuum Tube... - [Cached Version]

  "Both the new AXGE and PE Tube Motherboards possess the sonic characteristics of resolution that the original AX4B-533 Tube possessed, but with a detailed openness, a bright and clean treble - all enhanced by rounder and bouncier bass," says Al Peng, product manager at AOpen, Inc., and the mastermind behind AOpen's Tube.
  
  Increasing Quality While Reducing Cost
  
  Just like the original AX4B-533 Tube, the new series adheres to the premise that the vacuum tube circuits should be kept as simple as possible.And, just like the AX4B-533, the new series works its "magic" with a single Sovtek 6922 dual triode, sitting in the center of the amplification circuitry.AOpen's engineers carefully evaluated this design approach, and concluded that it is still the most desirable blueprint for the new generation of Tube motherboards.And, after exhausting research and testing, these same engineers came up with a number of complementing design improvements that add even more presence to the sound emanating from this unusual hybrid.
  ...
  According to Peng, "Affordability is a challenge we faced after releasing the AX4B-533 Tube.Since we do not believe in skimping on the design or materials, we found ways to make sure that the new AX4GE/PE Tube series has even more highly regarded brand name components than its predecessor, at a reduced price point."

  The noise produced by the XC Cube Mini won't exceed 27 decibels, even when working on demanding applications, said Al Peng, senior director of AOpen's Business Integration Division.
  
  The XC Cube Mini is half the size of the other Pentium M-based Cube desktops in AOpen's product line, Peng said.It uses Intel's 855GME chip set that features integrated graphics technology, he said.

  According to Al Peng, director of the Motherboard Department, AOpen, the company's Intel-powered mainboards, in the first half of 2003, will feature hyperthreading technology in CPUs at 3.0GHz and above.As well, boards will comply with Intel's Flexible Motherboard Design Guide 2.0, otherwise known as FMB2, which is intended to ensure that Intel CPUs at speeds at or above 4.0GHz will have sufficient power reserves.
  
  Intel's FMB2 requirements also cover issues of thermal dissipation, taking into account factors such as power supply and chassis design.FMB2 sees thermal coefficients and clock speeds blended into a reference table, and boards that are compliant with the spec will have the entire chassis and ambient temperature maintained within defined limits.
  
  As regards chipsets, AOpen boards will be carrying the Intel 845PE and GE.
  ...
  The idea, here, according to Peng, is that users can tune into FM radio stations for music and then record in say wav or MP3 format, developing a collection of the latest hit songs.
  
  AOpen's director of Marcom, Tony Yang points out that AOpen is not simply a mainboard company."We supply optical and other components, including chassis, power supplies, coolers, and bare bones solutions.We also make multimedia and communications products, including sound cards and fax modems.Mainboards represent only some 30% of our output."
  
  Adds Yang, the clone market has seen rapid growth over the past two or three years.
