At SFF Tech they have looked closer at two relativly unknown SFF systems from the English based manufacturer Hoojum. Hoojum concentrates themselves more on the exclusive buyers with sober and minimalistic design which until today has made that they have only offered systems with VIA processors.

Cubit P4 and Cubit 3 (VIA C3 processor) has really been investigated by the guys at SFFTech and it is very difficult to miss the great effort that Hoojum has put on the design on these barebones.
