Is this the feature-packed platform for your next HTPC build?

Read more.

Will it reach the shops before the next mainstream socket comes out?

The latter is likely to be overkill for a HTPC build, but a cheaper Core i3 or Core i5 CPU could be the perfect choice when you factor in Intel's integrated HP graphics

Saucy ;)

Why 2 antennas?

because that makes it twice as good, all the way to 11.

I feel a project coming on :)

For N wireless - 2x2 probably ... should be fast enough for bluray rips off a file server.

Fast enough yes, but it still won't work.

But will Zotac get wake on USB to work properly this time....

No, only seen them in 24GB kits so far but it must be on the cards *fairly* soon.

only checked ebuyer n scan then stopped. not seriously going to do it at the moment either, only upgraded a few months ago. one for the future though

Dang, if this had firewire, I'd be all over it. Nuts. :censored:

AT LAST! Been waiting for this (or something like it) for ages. Now all they have to do is release it to retail.

I wouldn't be using that PCIe x16 for graphics - that's where my Cinergy 2400i DT would be going (which I'd eventually replace with a HD satelite dual-tuner when I get FreeSat).
