Need an MicroATX board with onboard video/DVI

I know Nvidia's new MicroATX solution had a DVI connection with their 6100 class onboard video, but I haven't seen any plans from manufacturers for a board that will have that feature. All the ones that I have read about only feature a VGA connection. I have a projector with a DVI input that I would like to take advantage of for this HTPC. Does anyone know of a board that exists or is in the works that has good onboard video and a DVI connector?

Cool, I didn't know that. DVI and TV-out seems rare on integrated video. :thumbsup:
 
AOpen i915GMm-HFS - the heatsink was substandard (and proprietary) but has been replaced on newer versions of the board. Maybe we need a HTPC thread...
 
Practically all integrated-VGA chipsets _can_ do DVI - it's just that almost no mainboard designers actually put it there.

VIA have just started putting DVI on their EPIA MiniITX boards as well.
 
Did you find your board?

I just got a pair of socket 939 Athlon 64's and wanted to get a couple boards with decent onboard video. The only one I can find anywhere is the Asus A8N-VM CSM.
I can't find the MSI or Albatron anywhere and the Asus is out of stock just about everywhere.
 
Consider the MSI RS482M4-ILD. Good onboard video. DVI connector. In stock. $10 cheaper than the A8N-VM CSM @ NewEgg. $25+ cheaper @ ZZF.
 
Thanks.

Worth a shot if I can't find the Asus in stock.
I like MSI boards, but the Asus's video is a bit faster and sound/sata are supposed to be better.

Thanks for another option though.
 
GIGABYTE GA-K8N51PVMT-9

Does not have DVI output though and the SPDIF needs a connector module (which I have yet to find), the only two drawback that I see.

<Sigh> Looks like there is no one board out there to do all that and being under $100
 
ya anandtech had a review last night tha tdissapeared on this motherboard, the csm... basically it was all-round weird in performance, often slower than a 6100...

anyway i own teh csm, and i think its the best option if u want DVI, even after reading the mostly negative anandtech review.
 
The reveiw was negative on video performance vs the Biostar 6100.
It still beat the ATI board, which i was surprized at. Also they like all the other features, but the bios over clock. Maybe is just how we read it. I don't care about video speed for intergated video. But i do like HD sound and video. I also don't care about OC.

Basicly great for HTPC (which i think it target audience is). Not great for hardcore gaming.
