it looks ideal for my new MediaCenter - eco, small and has PCI-E slot (for dvb-s2).
It will be works W XBMC / PVR with HW Accelaration (VAAPI) ?

I'm looking at this being a decent board for XBMC too.
I'll likely wait for the quad core version, but will jump on this since it is powerful or more than my 6 year old system that is currently running.

I'm also excited by this one. Anyone know of a release date yet when it'll hit the channel so we can order one?

One article says 'when it becomes available end of January or in February.". But I'm chomping at the bit for an exact date. For now I've created a google alert on "J1800I", so something should pop up in the coming weeks. I'll be ordering one for that price. Or actually I'll probably wait for the Quad option for $70 as it looks VERY interesting too.

Just realized though that this will require a standard ATX type power supply. Anyone know of a fanless one that is cheap & low power for a mobo like this? Perhaps with an inexpensive case option? That could raise the price quite a bit if there isn't one and add fan noise, which I won't do.

I'm researching now ahead of time, so hopefully I can find some power/case options that'll be fanless by the time I can order one of these...

This article http://www.tomshardware.com/news/msi-bay...25802.html describes the quad core J2900 & J2850 models coming out next.

Edit: Well, I've discovered a new type of PSU called a "Pico" that can work with a regular A/C adapter. Found one here so far. Going to research more. Still interested in input. Thanks.

http://www.mini-box.com/60w-12v-5A-AC-DC-Power-Adapter Class V is the best I've heard. So this looks good so far.
According to their review, this is the best PicoPSU to get along with a 19v FSP A/C power brick: http://www.mini-box.com/PicoPSU-120-WI-2...wer-supply I haven't looked elsewhere yet.

Yeah the little power supplies are nice. I'm probably not gonna worry about it since my full size htpc case will be open since that computer has lost audio and will be replaced. Hope this makes it to market soon.
