Zotac ION-ITX-A (atom 330) died ... looking for something new - lulaz - 2014-04-24 Hi, My good, old Zotac ION-ITX-A motherboard with Atom 330 and Nvidia ION has passed away today . Im crying, my family is depressed Im looking for a replacement (motherboard + CPU + GPU) and I thought you guys could help me. I have couple of "must be" things:
WiFi not required. It can be all-in-one (motherboard with built-in CPU and GPU), or motherboard with built-in graphics + seperate CPU, or motherboard + seperate CPU with built-in GPU - doesnt matter as long as my requirements are met . If its important: it will be a 24/7 Home NAS + router/firewall + HTPC w/ XBMC on Ubuntu. Sorry for my english, its not so good. If I wasnt clear with something - please ask . RE: Zotac ION-ITX-A (atom 330) died ... looking for something new - noggin - 2014-04-24 How does this look : http://www.gigabyte.us/products/product-page.aspx?pid=4762 It's a Celeron 1037U and has two Ethernet ports. The 1037U is well regarded for XBMC, and that motherboard is well regarded for pfSense firewall builds ISTR. RE: Zotac ION-ITX-A (atom 330) died ... looking for something new - lulaz - 2014-04-24 Wow, thats extremely cheap! I will look into it and read about it. Thanks a lot! Of course if others have something to add/recommend please do not hesitate to write a post RE: Zotac ION-ITX-A (atom 330) died ... looking for something new - Dougie Fresh - 2014-04-24 If you want the "ION3", have a look at this excellent motherboard which is the Atom 2550 with Nvidia GT610 GPU: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813176013. One of the SATA ports is mSATA so you'll need to use an mSATA SSD. However, mSATA SSDs aren't usually that much more than and can even be cheaper than a regular 2.5" SSD. It also has a mini-PCIe slot, 1 x GigE ethernet, HDMI and it's very quiet thank to the excellent fan control in the BIOS. There is also a 2 x SATA version here: http://www.macmall.com/p/Giada-Motherboards/product~dpno~9416284~pdp.iadcjbd (the mSATA slot while present is turned off). I've built dozens of HTPCs with these boards and they're excellent. Here are two examples: SH-55 with D2550/GT610 SH-80 with D2550/GT610 The Gigabyte C1037U motherboard is also excellent. It just doesn't have a mini-PCIe slot. Despite 2 x GigE it cannot be teamed but you can have two IPs, say one for your LAN and one for the NAS to access the WAN. There is also a Biostar C1037U board that has 4 x SATA (since you mention NAS): http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813138393 RE: Zotac ION-ITX-A (atom 330) died ... looking for something new - Aquarius - 2014-04-24 I used that exact same MB for 4 years. Replaced it two weeks ago by a Gigabyte Bay-trail-D motherboard. Not because it died but because it was getting painfull for other things than video. (Browsing, flash, video streaming...) http://www.gigabyte.com/products/product-page.aspx?pid=4881#ov Discussed on this forum here: http://forum.xbmc.org/showthread.php?tid=184930 RE: Zotac ION-ITX-A (atom 330) died ... looking for something new - mkortstiege - 2014-04-24 I've just replaced my old ION330 with a Gigabyte Brix GB-BXCE-2955. Initial tests were pretty neat. Have to make it my daily driver in the next few days before i can report back if it's any good. Edit: Meh, should have read the entire post Does not match your requirements. |
