Might be better asking in the customer section below.

I doubt they will and no-one lists this in UK (or when I last looked).. Pity as would go well with BM639/BM648/SG-05 cases... and extra slot is nice

just asked and got a very good reply

Do share

i'm after one of these too!

We will be doing Zotac's new range of boards as soon as they become available.

And when is that I wonder? They are listed in Switzerland but not in stock. The price of 180 Swiss Francs works out around £120 (+VAT???) which makes them silly money IMHO. Better off an Ion system if you want a PCIEx16 or extra SATA ports.

Anyone know if this board is coming out in the uk

Methanoid · 6 Apr 2010 at 14:37

I'm thinking maybe the OCUK response was automatic in that they dont want to be seen not carrying something cool that customers might want.

Its not like OCUK reps are giving us any info is it?

I've ordered one from shoptonet.de and they estimate that the product will be ship primo next month. It has been delayed before, so I don't think it's entirely certain.

Let us know how U get on.. if OCUK can't or won't (or won't tell us) then this might be only option

Woops, I overlooked a mail from shoptonet.de it seems like the carrier tried to deliver the mb just before the weekend. They'll try again tomorrow.

This mobo looks like it would do the job quite well. It's the only NM10 chipset mobo with 4 SATA and IDE (two more devices) as Gigabyte added a JMB controller chip to it.

Its available in UK around £70-75 too which is a lot cheaper.

Yes the Gigabyte board is nice, but I miss passive cooling, 6x sata+1x esata ports combined with the 2x PCIe x1 slots (one x16 length). Not to mention that HDMI output is also a nice addition.

I'm going to use the NM10-DTX as a replacement for a VIA SN18000G in a NAS (samba)/ mediacenter (XBMC) setup running linux (Debian). At the moment I'm using a Nvidia G210 to accelerate video playback (through VDPAU), which enables the computer to playback x264 videos with minimal cpu load.

Nb. Drivers and manual is available for download at Zotac's site:

It seems that some boards have shipped with an early version of the bios, that needs to be upgraded:

budgynana, You want to remove the competitor link before a mode sees

tietze · 22 Apr 2010 at 08:04

I can confirm I have received the Zotac board and it is a nice little board. I'm going to test linux on it in a couple of days

But you cannot use the 6 SATA on the Zotac as its RAID only not individual ports (according to those links) so in many ways the GB is better

Horses for courses I guess

Yeah I noticed but was hoping for a BIOS update fixing this. It makes the board completely unusable for me. Luckily I have not used it yet, so it should be easy to return the board.
