VIA EPIA ML

Anyone used this board yet?

VIA EPIA ML Mainboard

Shame there is only one PCI, but it could be great for an almost silent machine.

I'm considering mounting one of these in a normal sized case with one ducted fan blowing through the HD(s), then the board, then out through the PSU.

Should keep things nice and cool.

Although I haven't found a reseller in the UK.

itx-warehouse has some. (I never ordered there so....)

If you don't need the video acceleration of the CLE266 chipset and have some old PC100 or PC133 SD-RAM, you might be better of buying the classic EPIA 5000 in stead of this EPIA ML 5000.
