Looks promising...

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)

But does it have powered USB when in S3 standby?

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.

I don't think the price will remain high for long. Either way, these are soooo yummy ...

Pricey

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.

MythTV

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.

Authorities in several countries raided Megaupload recently, shut down all of its services, seized hundreds of servers and arrested several of its executives on criminal charges.

Do you think the move was justified?
