I came across this very interesting motherboard today. I've never taken any interest in Biostar products due to the poor reviews but this one is very compelling since I don't see anyone else offering something like this (at least not for sale in the US). This is available at Newegg, Superbiiz, et. al. It has a 17W TDP Sandy-Bridge mobile Celeron processor with Intel HD Graphics. The price is well under $100.
