should work fine, it is essentially what I have, different brand, costs way more.....I got this Foxconn E-350 based unit and 4Gb of ram for $200 at the egg and used a 250GB 2.5" HDD I had laying around and a copy of Windows 7 x64 I already owned also.
but yes, as it is the same system inside essentially, it will run it perfectly fine

I've been talking to Zotac and they say none of their products support TrueHD, DTS HD, so beware if you want HD audio.

=> There are Zotacs in Group 6
I am looking for a new HTPC too and my favourites are the Zotac ones. I definitley want to be able to listen to TrueHD and DTS HD.
You make make me quite uncertain making this statement.
What now?
