- ASUS Introduces QuieTrack Series

A press release from ASUSTeK today introduces their new "QuieTrack" optical drive series, said to provide the quietest operation of any optical drive on the market. Nice work ASUS! - You can grab the full PR in word format by right clicking here and choosing "Save target as".


Taipei, Taiwan, January 5, 2004 – ASUSTeK Computer Inc. (ASUS), a leading provider of high-performance optical drives, today introduced the ASUS QuieTrack Optical Drive Series. Incorporating three advanced features, the all-new QuieTrack drives, as the name suggests, provide a quiet, distraction-free environment. The first two models of the series are the CD-S520/A4 52X CD-ROM and CRW-5232AS CD Rewriter. They are the world’s quietest optical drives operating at 39dB while competing products remain at approximately 50dB.

They can be small and just cover a small part of the case top to reveal a particular feature inside the case, all the way up to encompassing the entire case top. With experience, (and the right tools), the shape is limited only by your imagination. For the purposes of this article and to demonstrate the basic techniques involved I will stick to a simple rectangular shape.
