This is a pretty decent deal for anyone wanting something like this. It is energy efficient and is the dual core Atom. Has gigabit Ethernet, and even a mini PCIe slot for a wireless card or HD accelerator. The best part is that it is passively cooled with a giant heatsink. Otherwise, this is a fairly normal Atom board for really cheap.

No pci-e from what I can tell, just pci. Otherwise a pretty good deal.

I would buy this... but I really can't seem to find a use lol

I have a HTPC, server, 2x gaming rig setups (one for me, one for the gf for photo editing). I don't have any other TVs for low power streaming system, so I'm going to have to pass. Thanks though OP

I had the same reaction when I saw this deal. Looked to be awesome for a cheap XBMC build. But no PCIE just kills it

There are decent PCI Video Cards around, besides anything would be better than that Intel IGP.

I'm curious - how did you find that coupon? It's not immediately obvious.

Strike that, it's staring me in the face!

Thanks OP.

Thinking of putting it in this case (http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16811154091). Amazon has it right now for same price, but with free shipping, and one customer comment said it was $29 shipped earlier this year.

 

[sunilx]

All I can find on Amazon for that case is this

http://www.amazon.com/MI-008-Black-C...0108844&sr=1-3

Am I missing something (again)?

I've done it again! It's here but listed without the Apex name in the banner

http://www.amazon.com/MI-008-Tower-Black-Chassis-Supply/dp/B001H0BA24/ref=pd_cp_e_0

The first link popped up on a search for the case as Apex MI-008 - the next one was listed on that first page. Go figure

Plz re-read what I wrote: "mini PCIe"

It has a normal PCI slot, and a mini PCIe slot for notebook size WiFi cards, or those Broadcom HD decoders.

 

[mshan]

Could you put an half mini PCIe SSD like those for Dell Mini 9 (Runcore, Super Talent, etc?) in that slot and use it to install os, etc?

Was thinking about this and a PCI video card with HDMI but damn those video cards cost more than this board.

 

[sunilx]

Newegg has this fairly good one

Doesn't have HDMI

yeah I was thinking the Broadcom would work. I think XBMC has decent support for that now too. But even those are tripping into the $50 range are they not? It still starts to add up pretty quickly

 

[sunilx]

The cheapest with HDMI is

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16814161347

for $71, which is getting silly.

Case $40, board etc $65, PCI card $71 = $176. Might as well get this for $188 shipped**.

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16813500027

and put it in a shoe-box with USB peripherals.

**Someone on the For Sale/Trade forum has this, new in box, for $140 shipped.

That's fine, but the point I think everyone is trying to make is you really need a better GPU in the machine to decode HD material (x264 etc), not just having an HDMI port on the machine.

Is the 510 a worthy upgrade to the 330?

 

[AkumaX]

nah, those 1/2 mini-pcie ssd slots are specially made for the dell 9's/acer 1's. it "looks" like mini-pcie, but its been converted as a bridge to a pata interface.

 

[Zap]

Is the 510 a worthy upgrade to the 330?

No. It uses a hair less power and is a hair faster, but IMO not enough to make a difference.

i have an atom pc made with that case. i like the case a lot, its not built super quality or anything but it does loook good. i dont recall too many problems putting it together either.... plus i got mine at the egg for $24 shipped about 9 months ago, so keep your eyes peeled for deals.
