Hi clayfree, I'm looking to upgrade my server/client and move to a low-power board w/passive cooling. The Zotac ION ITX seems to have everything i want! Did a quick search and it seems you might be one of only two guys in the forum who have had any experience with it. What are your specs on the Zotac system? Are you using it as a client only? Do u have any issues with it, esp with HD-PVR playback? I read on newegg that some people needed "premium" software/drivers to make the H.264 decoding work as advertised - is this true? Would you recommend it? Thx dude.
