Acer have details up on their website of the RevoCenter, which is their new piece of hardware for WHS2011.
Available in 2 configurations, the black RevoCenter weighs in at less than 10ibs and off course comes complete with WHS2011. Both configurations come with 2GB of DDR2 memory, gigabit LAN, 5 USB, eSATA and 1 PCIe x1 which are powered by the Intel ICH9R Express chipset.
The AH341-U1T2H model priced at $399.99 has one 1TB hard drive in one of the four 3.5" bays and a Intel Atom D410 Processor (1.66GHz, 512KB L2 cache). Whilst the AH342-U2T2H at $499.99 has one 2TB hard drive in one of its 4 bays and a Intel Atom D510 Processor (1.66GHz, 1MB L2 cache) processor.
Both units come with a six-month trial to McAfee Total Protection Service, have the one-touch USB backup button and a 1-year limited warranty as did the Acer Aspire easyStore.
The Acer RevoCente should be available very soon, and very nice it looks too, just like its WHS v1 brother the Acer Aspire easyStore.
More details are available from Acer.
