I wanted the case that have dimensions roughly equal to my av receiver (about 440milimeters width). I was also surprised that the board is so small :-)

How does it handle everything? X264?

Yes, x264 is hardware accelerated. Under OpenElec, everything worked out of the box, installation was very fast and boot is about 10-15 seconds.

If I mount ssd to 2.5" position, then sata power cable would not be long enough to connect the ssd. The board have only one connector to that power cable and I do not want to add another cable :-)

Huh?
One bay is closer than the one you're using, and another is directly below the one you're using (you've the drive hanging by a side screw, one 2.5" bay is directly below that). The closer bay is on the plastic contraption at the front of the case.

A little overkill case but nice setup...
Just set up my am1 testing unit and getting 8sec boot to win 8.1, how did you make openelec so slow?

Hi.
I recently purchased the same MB/processor combo as you but had mega problems where I just couldn't install any operating System or boot any live distro.
I tried to boot linux mint, windows 7 and an OpenELC USB thumb drive install and they all exhibited the same problem.... stalled shortly after the first graphic appeared when booting.
The BIOS looked good, reporting no issues with the CPU or RAM. I obviously played around with this for some time without any luck.
In the end I've sent it all back to Amazon with replacements on the way.
Were there any specific bios changes you remember making which i may have missed?
Cheers

Nice setup, I have been considering an AM1 build for a while. Have you tried installing any linux distros to test the open source drivers? How well does it handle 3D playback?
