    Now, can anyone recommend a nice mini-ITX case?

    Anything you like the look of from CFI on the low end up to something like Fractal's Array R2 on the high end.

    I have been leaning toward getting one of the LIAN LI PC-Q08A cases but not sure which color. They come in black, silver and red.

    It's such a shame their Linux graphics drivers are so awful. They keep pretending they're going to open source them one day and never do... All the time while not updating them themselves.

    Looks like they have their eye on the embedded industrial market. You might call serial and parallel legacy, but new industrial peripherals are made using those interfaces every day.

    Micheal Fox says outright that VIA aren't aiming for the embedded market with this.

    They're playing it up as "the ideal platform for DIY enthusiasts to custom build stylish home desktop and media center PCs".

    I know serial/parallel ports are still used and will continue to be for years but they are legacy ports, that's not a perjorative just a fact.

    I'd like to see some HQV scores, and a list of supported HW-accelerated codecs+bitrates before I have any faith.
