Hardware First Look: Zotac Nvidia Ion Mini-ITX

In the official review, can we get numbers on heat with and without the heatsink fan? I'm not a big fan of fans but I want the dual core 330 and I want to know if this board can handle it.

 

agreed, and cool link on that Beagle Board +1 rep for you!

isnt that what the linux server article was all about? just add SAMBA and mdadm for linux RAID.

I definatly need this Cheesecake!
i run XBMC with windows on an old laptop at the moment, it does the job fine but im looking for an upgrade. This Zotac board and a VESA mouted case will give me all i need.

im looking forward to the review.

EDIT:: ALSO, what about audio passthrough over HDMI?

 

Yes that is. But I mean "for the rest of us"

Hardware choice, build guide, FreeNAS install. Somewhat simpler and something everyone can try.

Multiple media centres is too much time to test, plus they get updated all the time. We'd be here forever testing every type of file + codec + software combination.

 

Fair enough,
As long as the review comes out within the next month ill be a happy monkey. Im looking forward to the pearls of wisdom from Bit

 

Any chances of getting one of those POV boards the Boy 4m Oz posted?
I'm kind of underwhelmed by the lack of PCIe on this board.
