J&W Minix 785G Mini-ITX 785G-SP128MB Motherboard Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I bought this to build my HTPC in an APEX MI-100BK SFF case.It does what it says it will do.Temps can get high in a small case - be sure to ventilate well.Chokes on the bottom of the board were hitting the case floor - fixed with a couple of small washers.So far so good.Blu-ray and HDTV record/playback is a breeze.Adobe Flash HD creates lots of heat, even with 10.1 beta, but it plays smoothly.

Shuttle Computer SG31G2 Intel G31+ICH7 Chipset Up to Intel Core 2 Quad Dual Channel DDR2 Max 4GB 250W Power Supply Barebone (Black) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Great pc for the money- I looked at Shuttles last year, and for dual-core compatibility (AMD or Intel) they were all $350+. Now it's easy to build a quad-core Shuttle with 4g ram, dvd-rw, wireless, and a good hard drive for around $750!!! And still be able to upgrade to a 45nm processor later this year!!!
I was skeptical of the cooling system, but even oc'd to 2.7ghz all 4 cores stay between 34-44 degrees Celsius during fairly heavy use. And it's QUIET!!! The only noise is from the hard drive...
