Very nice! Pretty decent price too considering the shrink that's gone on.

Add a decent pci-e quad tuner card and that has the foundations of a seriously tiny HTPC set up right there.

nom nom, so tasty

Lol!

Best cases for the job if your gaming

When are we looking roughly for the ITX Mobo to be in stock?

loving this, am i right that i can run 3 displays from the MB or do i need a 7000+ gpu?

Ive been thinking of ditching my old C2D / 280GTX system for a while and going "small" but know nothing about the limitations of this form factor.
Is there any info available for taking such a step? I assume I cant just whack in any old AMD CPU /cooler / PSU / Graphics card and be up and running?

There an ETA on the other boards at all?

this board is for FM2 cpu's only
with the coolers, the case and location of the ram slots and pci-e socket need to be taken into consideration. ram issue usually negated by using low profile ram.
*psu depends on case too
*graphics card length / width is case dependant also

*only really applies with htpc/itx cases.

Thanks for the info! appreciated

Just after I went with an Intel solution after it was suggested it would be months in another thread nevermind

Any word on cheaper A55 versions?

CIR header.. Exactly what I wanted so I can power on from IR remote but no onboard bluetooth and wi-fi. Nice to have but not a deal breaker

What exactly is the biggest difference between the old A75 chipset and the new A85 chipset? Would the A75 overclock the new CPUs not as well as the A85 chipset board or something, considering it was originally for Llano?

Any ETA on the board?

I want one!

ETA on the board?

ETA pls ?
