I stumbled into the ITX idea when the 775 mobo in my HTPC needed replacing.
As the PC runs for most of the time, I was interested in something with both performance and low power draw.
My Atom notebook is just too slow for relaxing sofa use. I settled on a 1155, using a 2100T and Gigabyte H67.
I absolutely love it, it rips DVDs quicker than my main rig, runs very cool with a single inaudible stock fan and has perfect bluray playback. It looka a bit lost in the massive case, I am thinking of swapping to a Wesena ITX7..
