Looks great, any speculation on what might be used to power these things? It would make a really compact media player in a corner. :wink:

I have like a dozen different projects that have been waiting for these boards... Ugh, I'm going to be broke on mods after a while...gotta make something I can sell. :wink:

I REALLY like tha fact that it has the SATA onboard...makes drives easy to install!

that board would probably fit nicely into a old nes system box which would be a pretty cool mod cd tray in the cartriage area ect.

They already did it with a MiniITX board, I imagine a nanoITX board would be a piece of cake :) And Diss if you're following this, I'm :oops:

Just speculation, is that fan header the power source for this? Because I don't see any place else to power it. If it is, that's amazing. You could slip one of these into a 5 1/4 drive bay of another computer :D Now that would be a cool project. Run Linux on the BayBox :D Integrate a 2-port KVM into the case as well.
