Interesting review on Atom.....

[Review Link]

Why no HD test?

Why didn’t we run tests on playing HD? Well, first of all because computers using an Atom processor aren’t intended for that. Intel is targeting NetTops, which are computers intended for Web browsing, not for watching Blu-ray disks. Also, we did try to play an HD DVD, just to see, but Power DVD wouldn’t launch without a modern graphics card capable of handling part of the decompression load. We would have tested some "HD" video, such as the trailers available on the Web, but several problems associated with doing that. The software player used influences the results, and the quality and complexity of these videos don’t match that of commercial video. Decompressing a DivX 720p stream at a few megabits/s is one thing, but video in H.264 at 36 megabits/s on a Blu-ray is something else.

New Little Valley vs. Old Little Valley vs. VIA mobos

Well, if you ask me, the lack of GB lan is a real turn off. PCI slot can be used for a good graphics card like HD2400 or a TV tuner card. Still a good board for BT nonetheless

This NAS has been around for quite sometime but will be finally making its way to our shores in July. And its price I was quoted? $699. Order direct from mini-itx.com even cheaper but I am going to get direct from Taiwan anyway.

Some ppl might want to wait for the DNS-343 instead of a DIY NAS.

Note the ES34069 is not compatitble with all mini-itx.

[dr_disciple]

ES34069 - S$485 (after shipping + GST)

[dr_disciple]

Any mobo which specifically fail to fit in this casing?

the main concern is the I/O plate right?
