Build your dream home theater PC around JetWay's compact NC81-LF motherboard. This mini-ITX board is not only affordable, it's low power consumption levels allow it to operate without requiring noisy fan cooling. Featuring AMD's 780G and SB700 chipsets, this board is ready to rock with an AMD AM2+ Quad-core, Opteron or Phenom processor which can be supplied with up to 4GB of DDR2 800 memory with dual channel support and Hyper Transport 3.0 for increased performance.
The integrated ATI Radeon HD 3200 video chipset supports Microsoft DirectX 10 as well as offering 1080i, 1080p and HDCP resolution with DVI and HDMI output. The six-channels of HD sound further enhance your viewing experience whether you're streaming from the Internet, pulling data from the four 3Gb/s SATA devices, or playing a Blu-Ray DVD.
The drives can be configured for RAID operation to allow extra performance and security and content can be transferred at broadband speeds from other networked devices through the Gigabit Ethernet LAN. Wi-Fi connectivity is also available and eight USB 2.0 ports allows for nearly unlimited possibilities in connecting peripheral devices.

Favorite ITX HTPC MB
- Pros: This board is excellent! Just finished building an HTPC on it and it's running magical! what not to like, can fit quadcore, 780g, etc..
- Cons: Okay, tried fitting an ITX cpu cooler from silverstone, but it didn't fit, so i got stuck with the CPU fan jetway supplied you with, and yea...it's kinda loud. It's not HORRIBLE, but if you're in a small room, its very noticeable. in a BIG room, not bad but you can still hear it.
Perfect but missing some key features
- Pros: It is after all an ITX board that supports Quad core cpu's. The 780g chipset is an amazing HTPC starter system. The ports on the back are connected to the board very well, no worry for those who connect and disconnect a lot.
- Cons: Why a PCI slot? I would have expected at least a PCI-E 1x and the competing J & W "minix" (available at another discount computer store) has a full PCI-E 16x. The weird north/south bridge heat sink makes overclocking or even basic cooling difficult.
- Other Thoughts: My suggestion, pair this with 4GB memory, samsung drives, a 45 or 65 watt dual core CPU. Very good for an HTPC

Failed!
- Pros: look nice, support 4G of Ram, lots of ports!
- Cons: NOOO Video out!! boot up n no video at all!!! RMA for a replacement! now I have to spend another $10! :(
- Other Thoughts: OCZ PC6400 2G (plan to use 4GB)
Athlon II 250 and X2 5000+
Hitachi 200GB HDD (2.5")
This junk
400W PSU
4gb on Mini ITX
- Pros: Seems to work well with windows 7. Like the HDMI interface with LCD TV. Fairly easy to install.
- Cons: Works perfectly with 2gb of memory but crashes randomly with 4gb of memory. Have tried two different ram with same result. Seems to run fine with just 2gb so not a big deal. Documentation could easily be improved. HDMI sound is off by default in the bios. Bios update procedure is confusing.
- Other Thoughts: Fun to use for streaming hd from the web to the lcd tv. Does everything I wanted except running with 4gb of ram.
HDMI Pops and stutters
- Pros: Needed a mini itx board for the right side of my ThermalTake Mozart TX case to use for tv. Works perfectly well in stereo.
- Cons: Issues with dolby digital through my 27" Phillips tv and digital connection to my Sony 7.1 amp. Audio pops and stutters with full digital from either broadcast HD tv or DVD. Blu-rays are simply unplayable
- Other Thoughts: Would look for an alternative using a non-ATI chipset were I do purchase again. Too many issues with ATI and the support is only open during normal business hours. Drivers are incredibly dodgy but that has been an issue with ATI for well over a decade.
