it is ion 2, next month the "deluxe" version should be available with IR, WIFI and bluetooth

and it has usb 3.0 and ddr3

That board isn't even available yet and ION2 is hardly any better than ION1 to be worth waiting for it. Also iut has to be seen how compatible it is with Linux/XBMC.
Bleeding edge is not necessarily better.

There are several ION1 boards with DDR3 available (just look at the link I posted earlier in this thread) and USB3.0 is hardly useful on a HTPC (at least for me it's completely useless).

Thanks for the feedback guys. I've bought a Asrock ION330-HT. I couldn't find the perfect case, the good ones are all way too expensive. And a lot of people here use a Asrock ION330, so there is lots of info available. It's only 300,- euro...a lot cheaper then the HTPC I'd build would be.
Waiting for it to be delivered...Smile
