Running perfect

 

Works! Very fast for what you get. I am running Ubuntu on this machine and it runs at a rate of 40-60% at all times. This is only because Ubuntu is known for high graphic usage and CPU usage ; I use this computer for music streaming via Spotify ; No...

No cons. Works just fine

HTPC

 

I haven't noticed the fan noise other reviewers have mentioned. Perhaps I have a newer batch / production run?

Low power - ~ 25watts w/o HDD under normal load ; Runs Windows Media Center 7 perfectly ; VGA >> Component dongle >> TV works for me without resorting to PowerStrip (720p). I have a Sony LCD, Sony DLP, Sony Rear projection CRT and Sharp...

Runs somewhat hot under normal load (~ 50°C - 60°C) in a 4U rackmount case [i.e. plenty of air flow

Well-equipped for use as a HTPC

 

This system replaces a bug-ridden Intel DG45ID / Core 2 Duo micro-ATX machine I previously used for a HTPC. This board has a much slower CPU, but actually faster graphics, and much lower power consumption. --MSI driver "live update" doesn't seem to...

Highly integrated design includes flexible audio options: HDMI, S/PDIF optical and coaxial, and analog ; Wow, 6Mbps SATA and USB 3.0 on an inexpensive and tiny board ; Much better graphics performance than an Atom/Ion board, and graphics are faster...

One egg off: CPU speed is noticeably slow, and the overall bottleneck. But, faster than an Atom (AMD E-350 WEI=3.8 vs. 3.3 for an Atom D510) ; I wish it had a rear-panel eSATA port, in place of one of the many USB ports. I used one of the 4 internal...

My configuration: Hard drive: Kingston SSDNow V100 64G (SSD) Case: Cooler Master CM Media 260 / 450 W Memory: Kingston KVR1066D3N7K2/4G (2 x 2GB) DDR3 1066 OS: Windows 7 Professional (32 bit) Windows Experience Index: Processor : 3.7 Memory : 5.5 ...

Supports DTS-HD, Dolby TrueHD pass-thru and 8 channel PCM over HDMI, low power, works nicely with Boxee/XBMC, hardware accelerated H.264 thru DXVA

fan is a bit noisy for a living room (~6000 RPM with default setting), although i don't really hear it when i play a movie

My Build MSI E350IA-E45 Mobo GeIL 4GB DDR3 1066 OCZ Agility 60gb SSD hec Black ITX200A Mini ITX Media Center / HTPC Case Windows 7 Ultimate x64 WEI Processor-3.8 Memory-5.8 Graphics-4.0 Gaming Graphics-5.7 Hard Disk-7.0

This board makes a great addition to my home network. I am using it for HTPC, but I think it could be used for whatever you want

The only con I noticed is that there is no system speaker
