Been waiting for this to become available in the states so that I could finally put my system together.

Just shocked that no one else posted this on the forum, because I'm always the last to find anything out, LOL

Good find. Nice board.

despite the complete lack of clarity on the audio chipset used, it looks awesome. htpc's are about to get a whole lot smaller. and faster.

10 USBs on the IO panel!

i know, that a lot, i would be weary of overloading the amps on them.. you can build a 14-port regulated powered hub yourself for under $50 and eliminate the stress on the mainboard, i honestly would rather have a vga port on there instead of 4 extra usb's. or hell put usb3 on there already!

otherwise though, this is a serious amount of power for such a little size. were one step closer to i5 mitx with fermi onboard graphics... yeah right!

Would it not use some kind of Realtek digital doodad like ATI cards? Digital is digital...

for most people yeah... i still use analog. if its the latest via or realtek solution then its fine. people write off analog audio but i still like it. out of all the toys i want, upgrading to a digital receiver is the last thing on the list.
