Vortexbox Distributor for Australia
Vortexbox (Australia) is the authorised distributor of the Vortexbox appliance for Australia & New Zealand.
As well as supplying the Vortexbox, we also cover the warranty for all Vortexbox appliances supplied by us. They are built for Australia & all parts come from Australian distributors.
The official announcement was made on the US web site today, see it here.
21 Mar 10 Price Drop
Due to a fall in price of some parts, (especially the motherboard), we’re pleased to announce that the Vortexbox price has dropped to $395.00, (Australian). This is the same price we were supplying it for earlier this year, (& late last year), but with a better processor & motherboard. So jump in now to take advantage of the new pricing. Just click here to go to the Buy page or click on the picture of the Vortexbox at the top of this page to take advantage of this new pricing.
For those of you who want an even quieter Vortexbox, we’ve also found another motherboard that doesn’t have a fan on the processor, just a massive heatsink. It’s a bit dearer, but if you’re interested in this, please visit the contact page to send me an email to inquire a bout pricing.
17 Feb 10 Specifications Upgrade
The single core Atom 230 processor is no longer available in Australia & neither is the dual core 330. The 330 has been replaced by the dual core D510 & it comes with a new motherboard that features 2 RAM slots, (up from 1) & gigabit ethernet.
Unfortunately this means a price rise, but the the new price is the same as buying our original Vortexbox with the upgrade to the dual core processor.
