Nice video! Nice board to! do you know the wattage it uses idle ? could be a cheap home server to.. would be nice :)

[fantasmaofdoom]

what case did you pick? :D

i've been looking for a nice case and stuff but i don't want it to be too expensive :)

btw where does the power for the hdd's/dvd's go? (on that molex connector? (upper "left"? )

[ch40t1cM0DdEr]

yes thats where the HDD and ODD go and i used the MW-100 case

[fantasmaofdoom]

Oh k thanks ;)

I might (probably will) buy this board with components for listening music and later for movies and stuff :)

(i'll probably go with the procase noah)

Might even make a review too :o (not that many reviews of these on youtube? :D )

btw thanks for the info!

I found another issue with this board. The usb wake up only works with the latest revision of this board and cannot be fix with firmware updates if you already purchased the first revision. :(

Continue -->

[kaede15]

<-- continue:

The reason for this is because Zotac redesigned the circuitry of the board. The bad news is to spot the new board you must open the box.

The usb wake up is a "must" have feature for me since I use the usb microsoft mce remote control.

I think I'm gonna wait a bit longer for the new supply of the second revision.

[ch40t1cM0DdEr]

Best of luck to you with that, for me the usb wake up isn't even used for me so i honestly didn't even notice until you brought it up

[cesiumion]

Is it the dual core or single core atom board.

[ch40t1cM0DdEr]

i do believe its a dual core but you can look it up its the intel atom n230

[kaede15]

I've been doing some research about this board, and in some reviews stated that the Gigabit lan does not work under Windows7, you have to settle with 100mbit connections. Can you confirm that? thx

[ch40t1cM0DdEr]

im not completely sure as of now but im almost positive that when the official release of windows 7 comes out it should work without a hitch

[hantzley]

Which chassis model are you using?

[JesperA86]

I am doing a m-ITX chassie, and i want it as small as possible but cant find the dimension on the motherboard (heigh) and i cant get my hands on one right now!

[ch40t1cM0DdEr]

i dont know if you can tell in the video but the ram stick is higher than the heatsink if that helps im sorry if i can't give you the true specs its because i already sold the computer with this motherboard and i have to order more

[JesperA86]

Yes, that helps alot, thank you!

[JesperA86]

Do you know how high it is from the motherboard to the top of the heatsink on the CPU?

[ch40t1cM0DdEr]

it's not very tall at all why do you ask?

[DeathOnaChain]

Loved it shon.
