When it comes to HTPC motherboards the name I keep seeing often is the Zotac mainboards. Personally until recently I have never heard of Zotac and I have always stuck to Asus, Giga-byte, and DFI when it comes to mainboards. Occasionally I will use an Abit, MSI, or AsRock if I need and older replacement motherboard because the big names no longer make them.

I'm looking for the plus and minuses of a Zotac mainboard and why you are using Zotac instead of some of the bigger names.

No offense, but have you considered goggling it?

None taken, I am trying to get the point of view from fellow XBMC users. In a nutshell I may want to ask more questions based on somebodies post and I don't want to register for a hundred different forums to ask more questions.
