Chipset has a fan, however the processor itself is fanless. I've read 
somewhere that the fan is a weakpoint. Can't personally confirm that 
since I haven't used it long enough.
The GCLF2D is a new revision, slightly cheaper but minus the SVideo-out 
(iirc), which was found on the earlier GCLF2. SVideo is an unnecessary 
expense for an appliance anyway.
