Well - so much for that order. eBiz (via Amazon Marketplace) tried the old Bait-and-switch routine and said they only have "X10SBE-L" in stock. The "-L" board only have 2 SATA ports, no mSata, no mini-PCIe. Pretty much stripped. Definitely not worth the $275 price for that.piglover wrote:Two things:MikeC wrote:pretty hefty price... are they all in that range?
- SM boards are always pricey
- This board is not 'officially' available in the USA and this seller is grey-marketing them in and charging a premium for making them available.
I'd expect this one to be about $200ish when officially released here and available in quantity and the more mainstream boards quite a bit lower.
I ordered one just to play with. I'll write something up in a couple of weeks.

How the f*** is it possible, that they release product without drivers? They didn't make tests during development? This is starting to happen all round the industry... getting sick of it. Those things aren't toys, but expensive things for work and still such bullsh*t is happening (talking also about latest ThinkPads).piglover wrote:no Windows drivers available yet from SuperMicro or Intel (ugh!), no ETA on release of drivers.
Need a lot more info on what software you plan to run on it before you will get good answers...danialbi wrote:hI all, I am new to this, I have a number of questions:
I would like to upgrade my mini-ITX ATOM330+ION card, mainly for performance.
1) Do you a Bay-train Celeron card will be a good one? A bit worried about video performance?
2) Many mobo presented (many 1+ months ago) - excellent list at the beginning!!; but when do you believe they will be on main dealers like newegg?; Why are they so late?
3) Any dealers for MSI card? For my basic requirements I don't see the X10SBA $173 premium from $60 (really to be 60?)
4) I would like to build a fanless 'cube'; I see the MSI has no 12V input, right? How can I use an extrernal AC/DC supply?
5) Is AsRock 3.5" SBC compatible with miniITX?
Thanks

youd need a pico or similar dc-dc PSU.danialbi wrote:A question about MSI J1800I:
I noticed the so called 'P12V' 4pin connector; do you know if it is possible to power up this mobo with an external 'laptop-like' 20V DC? Or is it ATX only?
Thx
Yes, it is possible to power this MB using only 12v power. SM is absolutely designing their new mITX boards to use 4-pin 12v power as their only supply. Applies to this board as well as their Avoton/Rangerley boards too.danialbi wrote:A question about MSI J1800I:

Tnx. I suspected this; otherwise one could wonder why on earth they put this 'P12V' connector for...piglover wrote:Yes, it is possible to power this MB using only 12v power.

Any comments are welcome.
Just one clarification, since we are at 'silentpcreview': The Intel NUC DN2820FYKH has an internal FAN spinning! I thought it was fanless. See complete review:Jakoob wrote:New boards from Biostar and Gigabyte added to first post. Only 2x SATA so nothing for me
EDIT: I also added Intel NUC to the first post
Maybe it is a silent fan No, really I think that those new SoC are very cold and therefore the fan won't be on all the time. You can see that most of the boards with baytrail are fanless.danialbi wrote:The Intel NUC DN2820FYKH has an internal FAN spinning!
I've had good luck with playing DVD rips via VLC, but not so much with 1080p. I'm getting stutters and choppy video when playing the m2ts files from a ripped blu-ray, a little better but still not super satisfied with semi-compressed mkv.chittu wrote:@piglover
how does the X19SBA performs? I'm planing to get one and use it as my NAS (samba, torrenting) MB, I'll also use it as HTPC for playing 1080p videos. I may not need xmbc, if X19SBA does well with VLC then that's lot enough for my purpose. I'm bit worried about linux support as I'm planing to run ubuntu on it.
can you comment on my plan. thanks
