Though you guys say price is a bit high, I will says its kinda ok. for 200-250$ (not 300+ though) you get a motherboard + Processor + a wireless card. Moreover Zotac is a good maker. I kinda like their product. This will be great for my HTPC (i like motherboard open and lying out, not in cabinet)
Zotac's current m-itx Core 2 boards don't power the USB ports whilst in S3 standby mode. Thus making it impossible to wake the machine from standby using a remote.... I hope that they have fixed this problem with these new boards.
Theres New SetTop out yesterday, too. So micro, designer market may be opening with higher quality of Atom. Not Cheap, yet stick another Intel problem Inside, SSD X-18M, for instance & have thru put that matches 450 Mhz/s well & dumps lot o' Defective crud into OK workable enviorment? Think of those few tranistors, apparently indestructable, somewhere in SSD, Running More Like color of Tungsten Filament, With drastic or illusionary problems that In/Out seem to have. Micro might be best spot too, for real FULL Gain, Workstation level RISC into Gen3 SSD Compartment. Its 7 Thing. drashek
At the moment they are a bit too much dollarwise for me to be interested, Zotac are a pretty good builder though I have a few of their products spread over a number of systems and none have given any issues as yet.
I really do hope the prices of these boards come down a bit with volume. I'd love to get one of these boards for a MythTV box (I gather that MythTV runs better with an NVidia chipset) and something like this would make a lovely little media centre PC.

I don't think the price will remain high for long. Either way, these are soooo yummy ...
This + mythtv + vdpau = Win
