    Clearly you missed the HDMI port

    Surely we should be moving on from D-Sub these days... It's disappointing to find new products with D-Sub, especially when you can always use a DVI -> D-Sub adapter.

    Me too. Acer should also ditch that black glossy plastic. I absolutely HATE it! It not only attracts dust, fingerprints and scratches as soon as you take it out of the box, but it makes it look cheap. It needs to be smaller, preferably made of metal (half the size of a Mac mini would be really cool) and have DVI as standard.

    Couldn't agree more, if the nvidia reference design was released into the retail market i think id be the first to buy one it looks perfect for a media pc/download box, its completely beyond me why Acer have replaced the dvi with dsub and why they have made it look so crap, still lets hope Asus brings something good to the party.
