Cool but, too small for my uses but, I could think of things I might try with something like that...
Only 6.7" x 6.7"....Wow...very impressive for what it can do

I've been using their 9300 mini-ITX for almost a year now and I haven't had any issues. Assembly is a challenge (especially with big hands) but its amazing what you can fit in a shoebox. I will probably get another one of their miniITX products if I build another one in the near future.
Because of the lack of card slots, it needs to have a lot built-in. It has an HDMI port, but what is the graphics controller? Intel? Newegg says "none", but I suspect that's wrong. Also, I would like to see port multiplier support in the eSATA port that would work with my disk array (a Sans Digital TR5M). Not sure if it has that either.

Out of curiosity are you looking for raid or a decent pci-e slot? BTW: Intel's reference DH57JG is already available if you are itching for one.
I've only seen the DH57JG available via European resellers or a couple places in the USA but once you add to your cart it is on back order. Have you seen it available? I am looking for a PCI-e via a riser card in case I want to upgrade to a discrete DX11 card in the future.
btw, I'm going to be making a blog post on the build over at Missing Remote. Not sure if anyone will be interested in it.
You are probably correct concerning availability. A handful of e-tailers say they have them in stock, but it isn't newegg and it isn't like I tried to purchase one.
Personally I just don't see the desire to upgrade the DH57JG with discrete. I guess the way I look at it either I f'd up and the integrated isn't cutting it out the gate or when it comes time to upgrade the market has matured enough to be offering other benifits (USB 3.0 and SATA 6Gb/s) that would make me want to scrap the mobo anyway.
Just noticed that Glen has his thermal test up for the DH57JG on the HeatSync 300 Micro-Client.
Looking forward to your blog post.

I usually have the same philosophy but I'm a bit weary since I'm skeptical on the Intel drivers. Love their hardware and their network drivers are the only drivers I trust but I still have my doubts on their graphic drivers. I wouldn't even be purchasing if it wasn't for babgvant's review.
Plus, this mini-HTPC is for my bedroom to replace an Atom\Ion build. I like to build myself a new system every year and redistribute the old one so it will probably be in one of the kids bedrooms within a year. A discrete DX11 in a year or two would give it plenty of power for them. On my primary HTPC, the only upgrade I've done in almost 2 years is the video card. I've upgraded it 4 times.
And thanks for the link to A-Tech's article, hadn't seen it yet.
Heh... "it should be on retailer shelves in a couple of weeks priced at around $125" http://anandtech.com/cpuchipsets/showdoc.aspx?i=3752

I'll be ready to order. Should have my post up tomorrow on the parts I"m planning to use. Should be a good little bedroom HTPC + MAME system
Where from? In stock?
