    Bring it on.. more HTPC competition is good. Might have enough grunt to do other stuff at same time too?

    Indeed - W7 media centers can run ION boards with atom with full 1080p decoding and that's the competitor here perhaps.

    Not bad at all .. hmm - wonder if it's possible to mount one of these in an existing system with some jiggery pokery?

    Can't imagine why not. Mini-ITX boards have the same basic mounting holes as mATX and ATX boards, don't they? I've never compared them directly, but I always assumed mounting holes were pretty universal.

    If I hadn't bought an Athlon based mini-ITX system 6 months ago, I'd be quite interested in this. Especially if it can, in fact, go fanless. Mine only has 1 large (system) fan keeping everything cool, but that's still 1 more than I'd like!

    My fault - mean to say mounted in a case alongside an existing system

    18W is around the same or more than an Atom board depending on whether it has ION or just the D510 etc... 18W is about on a par with recent Core iX CULV launches.

    If this is to compete it needs to be either much faster or not much pricier than an Atom/ION combo or CULV Core iX based system.

    Now that's a plan. I'm sure you could shoe-horn it into some monster EATX chassis somehow

    Hmmm - Some sort of sticky mounts for the case side... and perhaps if the back panel was possible to connect via pass through cables? Would certainly be a nice replacement for my current Silverstone PS-01B-W based secondary system?

    I'll have to think on that
