Fantastic mATX board

Strengths: Plenty of connectors, many features, extremely low power consumption.

Weakness: NB gets a little hot.

I bought this board for my homebrewed Server 08 computer... it has this along with a BE-2400 processor and uses a very low amount of energy. The Cool and Quiet features really help to lower costs, lower heat, and lower noise levels. Great board and has plenty "bang for your buck"! If I wanted to I could probably use this in an HTPC build and be very happy with it.
