ASUS is well known for their ATX-sized motherboards, video card solutions, and various PC peripherals, but their latest venture into the world of SFF is perhaps lesser known. The T2-P is the second generation of their Terminator line, providing a sleek case combined with the custom ASUS P4P8T motherboard. Powered by the Intel i865G + ICH5 chipset, the system supports the latest Pentium 4 Northwood and Prescott processors up to 3.4 GHz. The T2-P differs significantly from other SFF?s we?ve had in the lab recently, sporting an almost “mini-tower” look rather than the traditional “cube” look associated with many of today?s popular small form factor systems. While the T2-P may be slightly larger than the competition, it packs an amazing punch including a wide range of built-in expansion and peripherals such as dual 5.25″ drive bays, an integrated 7-in-1 media card reader, integrated 3.5″ floppy drive, integrated AM/FM radio tuner, on-board video, integrated wireless Ethernet, gigabit wired Ethernet, and the ability to play CD?s and the radio without even booting the system! How?s that for a laundry list of features. Is the ASUS Terminator 2 the right system for your next upgrade? That greatly depends on your intended use. As you?ll soon see, the T2-P doesn?t seem destined for the extreme overclockers in our audience. While you will find a great Bios in this system, what you won?t find are any CPU overclocking controls, and a lack of aggressive voltage adjustments. That said, the T2-P offers some very compelling integrated features and makes a fantastic box for anyone just beginning to dabble in SFF all the way to those full-fledged power users looking for a well-rounded system. ASUS has included a full set of accessories within the T2-P. You?ll notice a few curious items in the image below.
