Really couldn't tell you who makes it, a mate gave me it from his old car pc.
I can't fit my current ITX setup in as the cooler on the X3 is far too big.

One of the fusion boards would fit nicely though. That with a slimline blu ray drive and the TV card in, is all I wish for.

Complete build is:

Coolermaster Elite 100 Case
Asus E35M10M Pro M/B
4GB Corsair XMS3
60GB OCZ Vertex 2E

All media is on a FreeNAS server with mirrored hard drives.

I know Overclockers are well for overclocking but I wish they would get these boards in as they are my preferred supplier!!!

What PSU are people going to use to power these?

Hopefully not a 450w PSU like the idiot that did that review posted above

Ideally a Pico PSU should be used...

I don't really understand why that review focused on overclocking in a M-ATX case for a m-ITX board that is designed for media performance and then they say they are going to look at gaming on the next review... Are they looking at the same board as me?

I'm sure it can overclock and play light games, but is that really what the FUSION is designed for?

Like I said... reviewer was an idiot

Well i completed my build, Windows 7 installed, TMT3 installed, MyMovies installed and I have to say for a media centre this thing really does rock.

Better than my AMD 7750 with 5450 graphics card. The thing just works, Avatar on Bluray looks fantastic, no stuttering etc so I can safely say this m/b does exactly what it says on the box.

Coolermaster Elite 100 case is not bad either, FlexATX PSU is noisy so replacing that with a 120 watt PicoPSU.

Big thumbs up from me and will be building another very shortly.

Can't complain for a complete HTPC for £300 which includes SSD!

Did you get the Asus E35M1-M?

vanandjuanunited · 21 Feb 2011 at 12:42

I want the Asus e35m1-I deluxe - but supply seems to be non existent.

tuomoy · 21 Feb 2011 at 13:49

Same here. Still waiting for more UK stock :-(

Myocardial Inf · 21 Feb 2011 at 14:14

Are there any versions out there that will use a DC input, with on board power circuitry?

jrwagh333 · 21 Feb 2011 at 16:47

Pictures of builds please

vanandjuanunited · 21 Feb 2011 at 17:53

OCUK starting to stock these now.

No I got the Pro version but the coolermaster Elite 100 has stand offs so the PSU sits over the expansion slots which is fine for my build.

Not that I am aware of, you will need to invest in a PicoPSU.

vanandjuanunited · 21 Feb 2011 at 20:04

I want the usb3 header otherwise any of the others would do.

Skilty · 21 Feb 2011 at 20:21

Here is the HTPC:

MTA99 · 21 Feb 2011 at 21:16

Was wondering how you got a mATX board in that case. Nice build

Not quite as elegant a solution. Wonder if any of the Sodimm boards have enough room for onboard power.
