Pros: With the external PSU and fanless system this is pure silent and I have it run 24/7 in my living room as my XBMC media box. its power consumption is fairly low. Being Mini-ITX makes this a perfect board for my HTPC.
Cons: Not really a board itself con but if you are getting this for a Windows Frontend HTPC make sure that whatever app you are will use the GPU to decode the video cause if not you are not using the board for what it is made to do.
Overall Review: This board is perfect for a home theater solution setup. I can toss whatever media I want at it and it goes without a single hiccup. I run XBMCLive 9.04.1 VIA HDMI out and it eats 1080p movies for breakfast.
