VIA offers $89 processor and motherboard combo for custom HTPCs



If you're looking to craft a small form factor HTPC to an equally small budget, then VIA's own-brand internals deserve some serious consideration. The company's 1.4GHz dual-core Nano X2 CPU was recently put to good effect in Zotac's ZBOX Nano VD01 and is now available as part of a DIY combo called the VE-900, which puts the processor on a compact mini-ITX motherboard alongside a VX900 dedicated media accelerator for smooth video handling up to 1080p. The board has a single PCI slot, room for up to 8GB of DDR3, two SATA pin headers and four USB 2.0 ports. The rear panel adds to this with HDMI and VGA video outs, three analog audio jacks, Gigabit LAN, four more USB 2.0 ports and other standard fare -- but alas, it seems that the $89 price tag won't fetch you digital audio outs or USB 3.0. You'll find a full PR and promo video after the break, plus some Nano X2 benchmarks at the More Coverage link.

Όπως λένε και στα σχόλια,
The only three things VIA has ever gotten right is VIA Vinyl Audio, VIA Gigabit Ethernet (the legendary VT6122) and......umm......damn, whats that third thing...

αν μπόρεσα να δώ καλά στο video δεν έχει optical / coaxial. σοβαρό μειονέκτημα για κάποιον που δεν έχει νέο ενισχυτή με hdmi.
 
Λίγα sata ports, αλλά ΟΚ, για μινι htpc ίσως να μην χρειάζονται παραπάνω
Χωρίς usb3, esata, optical, coaxial.... Ούτε από επεκτασιμότητα πάει καλά.
"Άγνωστη" παράμετρος και ο επεξεργαστής, και το chipset, παρότι γράφει ότι υποστηρίζει τα σύγχρονα φορμάτ...

... και φυσικά όταν υπάρχουν σε πολύ κοντινές τιμές τα Ε350...
