The Pros:Low price point and microATX form factor make this a good high-powered HTPC option. High quality "Ultra Durable 2" Japanese capacitors. Sandy Bridge processor support means 3D-capable integrated graphics.
The Cons:Two PCI-E x16 slots and no support for dual graphics card setups. Two DIMM slots limit RAM capacity to half the supported amount at least until 8GB sticks are readily available. Limited number of SATA connectors (4).
