Give it a day or two.

This looks like the greatest non-enthusiest board I've ever seen.

Simply awesome. This would be superb in my HTPC I plan to build. Combined with a low to low mid hd radeon card, for hybrid crossfire, superb.

agreed, that looks like it'd make a killer HTPC. plenty of display options and capable onboard sound (you'd be using digital anyways so a dedicated soundcard wouldn't matter so much), perfect! hell, put a phenom in there and a couple big drives and make it a media server as well.

maybe if my main system wasnt 8 feet from my HT setup then i'd make an HTPC lol.
