Pros: Setup: AMD 5050e, 4gb RAM, 1TB hard drive. I've installed Vista 32, Vista 64, and currently running Windows 7 x64. Zero issues with drivers on all operating systems. Very quick and painless install. The audio works perfect with optical out (haven't tried HDMI because my amplifier doesn't support HDMI). Surround sound works great on my movies that are encoded with 5.1 surround. The front panel audio connector works perfect via Azalia connector. The audio is VERY CLEAR via optical and the front panel connector. Video via HDMI works perfect also, zero complaints. I've been watching H.264 codec (.mkv files) perfectly. There seems to be pleanty of horse power from the 780G/HD3200. The side port 128mb is a great bonus. I Haven't tried Blue-Ray yet. Adjustable CPU fan speed in Bios or via the OC tool from ASRock. Works as advertised. I am very glad I bought this board, it seems perfect for my HTPC needs. Highly recommended

Cons: None

Overall Review: Things are running a little warm (55deg C under load), but it's because I'm using an HTPC case (hec 7K09) and have the case stuffed in an entertainment unit. I need to add some extra fans to the case and my entertainment unit. When I was setuping up the PC and testing it with the case apart, things were running cool and very quiet.
