I've had mine for a few weeks now, seems okay. Wouldn't recommend 780G that much at this point, G45 miniITX is available and 8300's are sure to follow as well. Both do better than S/PDIF over HDMI. Plus 790GX...

to me, coaxial cable to amp. is still the best.

With just S/PDIF you can only get DD/DTS/2ch LPCM so you can't take advantage of higher quality tracks on BD/HD-DVD.
