Amazon carries them and they ship directly from HabeyUSA.

They also have a model that's a little taller that you can fit a slim DVD/CD drive.

this is just awesome.

how does the ion hold up with playing HD movies? have you tested it with H.264 MKV 1080P files? i kinda wish i made what you made. Sad

Under both win7 + XBMC and XBMCLive it plays 1080p content without skipping a beat. Most of my blu-ray .MKVs are 10+ GB and I stream them from my network shares to the bedroom. I was extremely impressed with such a small package churning out HD content as well as my living room HTPC.

I have a 55" 1080p LCD in the the bedroom so it'd be easy to see if it was slacking.

o wow nice. i was going to go with one of these ion set ups but didn't because i was a little worried about the ion and or cpu not being able to handle my 1080P playback. i have the same size files most of my vids (use ripbot264) and most files are around 10-15Mbps depending on what movie it is.

kinda hate my self for spending around 400 bucks on my HTPC when i could have saved some $, o well. i was thinking about selling it and just buying a boxee box (cause i want to be able to stream HD netflix and VUDU in HD) not sure how well the boxee box is compared to a ion or my kind of built HTPC. have to look more into it.

I tried Amazon.com and it wouldn't let me ship to the UK.

I contacted Habey HQ and they will ship one to the UK for £40 for the case and £28 shipping.
By the time I come around to purchasing my bedroom HTPC case it will probably be this one.

It's nice to hear that the Asus AT5IONT-I is working great for you, I read that other people are lesse happy when they play 1080P with this board.

I was thinking to get this board, but read a lot nagative but also positive story's, so i'm still not figered it out what to do.

If people are trying to run it fanless they're probably overheating. That's my guess.
