    The DVI-D is on the pin header behind the VGA and COM port, so it needs a cable.

    10 cm x 7.2 cm, but how much bigger is it with the two boards attached?

    My question is: how good are these things at decoding HD video? I really want to build my dad a home entertainment system based on something tiny and quiet.

    I might be able to tell you soon, but I expect HD video - poor.

    Would be interesting, Bindi.
    I'm thinking of building something around that (or ATOM). Emphasis on read-only (no need to encode anything), headless (preferably - controlling it should ideally happen through one of those aftermarket LCD's that casemodders use all the time. :p)

    Portwell PEB-2736, 105mm x 140mm. More expensive, not as small, but should be a better performer and about as good for power usage.
