Comment:
This is a great little board. Layout is decent and functional. Attaching the wireless NIC antennas are a pain though as they are somewhat hard to snap onto the card. Once they're on though they're secure.Most of the difficulties of this MB is due to it's small nature, and compounded by the fact that it will go into very small mITX cases.The use of SODIMMs is annoying as you can't use RAM you already have on hand.The packaging is pretty awesome but excessive. Nice solid box, and good storage for the board, all the components and the manuals.The board doesn't need dual gigabit NICs, but otherwise it's pretty decently spec'd to run as an HTPC.5 Stars because it's in a class of it's own. It's not the absolute best, but there's definitely no better alternatives at this time.
