There have been a few before....

Personally, HTPCs are not ready for the masses.

I love mini ITX boards ive always wanted one and this looks promising.

BTW you don't really need a sound card these days unless you want special inputs/outputs as CPUs these days are capable of processing sound much better than they used to.

Actually even the "HD" sound on high end motherboards absolutely sucks in comparison to even the cheapest X-Fi card.

I really don't see much point in this either. With the Atom its still too slow to be used in an HTPC. You might as well get the LGA 775 board from Zotac that comes with GeForce 9300 and an open PCIe 2.0 slot.

I'd rather get that socket 775 Zotac board with a PCI express x16 slot.

The SP is awesome as always The multiplayer is insane.The game is a lot more balanced than COD4 and feels a lot better. The maps in MP are awesome. The game is totally worth the $60.

Yea.. setting yourself up as an all in one with only your idea is not a good idea, but they probably didn't have any room left after adding all that they put on this bad boy. The pizza could not handle any more toppings.. This little guy is the super supreme.
