TechRestore has posted a tear down video of the Apple Time Capsule. Commentary was minimal.

It'll require a sharp eye to pick out technical details.

Looks like it uses roughly the same rubber foot and general housing as the Apple TV...I wonder how they keep the drive cool though, the aTV and my aExtreme I got in November get hot as hell, and with a full size drive in there as well...hope these don't turn out to have big issues with drive failure or anything.

Subject: Does it have a fan?

Nice to have a look, but I had to push the PAUSE button a lot in order to see it all.

It looked like it has a FAN attached to the top lid....or what was that black unit?
I'm hoping it has a fan--a quiet fan--because my office space runs quite hot.

Does anyone know for sure?!?
