VIA EPIA-SN1800 - “The EPIA series from VIA has really come a long way since its initial inception years ago. When the series was first released, it was a unique formfactor. The problem is that it was slow and the expandability was not there. Fast forward a few years and the later designs are nothing like what it was. You get speed and expandability in a great size. If Windows is your thing, this board is Vista certified.”

AMD’s 780G integrated graphics chipset - “Without doubt the AMD 780G chipset is a revolution in performance for Home Theatre PCs – we finally have a platform that can playback everything we throw at it without compromises, regardless of the CPU used. It’s strange to think that AMD is not only releasing a very inexpensive chipset but it also (inadvertently) encourages you to buy the cheapest, lowest power CPU possible because it’ll still be more than capable thanks to the 780G’s Unified Video Decoder (UVD) engine.”

Antec Nine Hundred Case - “Since 1986, Antec has been providing the computer hardware community with grade A cases and power supplies. Their tradition continues on to this day with their power supplies being the best in the business. Antec’s cases are equally well known for quality.”
