Currently available Nvidia ION based products overview

Thanks, tux.

hey tux, any idea if the zotac boards have a new revision that will suport wake by usb and if so how to tell what revision I'm getting before I buy? I read a mention of a new hardware revision of the boards but no details

That would be rev1, I believe. I don't think it's written anywhere in the box but it's written underneath the motherboard. The first boards were rev0.

Official word from Zotac:

tux99 - please update your webpage to include the happy news of availability of the ASRock ION 330 in the US finally from Newegg

Don't know what flag that is, but I would've goatse'd them.

wish it had a geforce 9x option for vdpau

It's no longer listed ("Deactivated Item").

thought i'd let you know about adding an interesting and cheap case:
M350 Universal Mini-ITX enclosure. There are a couple of different places that sell it but here is one link: http://www.short-circuit.com/product/m350.html

tux99 -- Yes, thanks. I looked at that other US source. They are local (San Jose, CA) to me, too.

blackoper -- The M350 is a very interesting case. Mounting it on the back of a TV set would make for an interesting application for a HTPC.

I have a M350 case, that I mounted my Zotac IONITX-A-U in. I got it from the same retailer that I got the mobo from, Orbit-Micro. They weren't the cheapest, but I wanted to get both from the same retailer.

If you look at the picture, there are two USB ports under the front panel.

The problem is that the front panel is not meant to be opened. It is actually rather difficult with the top cover on. I decided to use these ports, and mod the case.

I purchased a 6" USB extension cable, and mounted it through a hole I cut in the upper right corner of the panel. This makes one of the USB ports accessable to use.

I used the other USB port for a USB remote receiver. I Purchase an Anyware MCE Vista Remote and took the receiver apart. I was then able to separate the actual receiver part from the main board, and soldered short leads to it. I then put a hole in the front of the case, and mounted the front window piece, from the receiver's original housing, in it. I mounted the receiver (and LED) in the window with a hot glue gun. I also had to shorten the original USB cable quite a bit.

I am now trying to come up with a way to mount my Hauppauge HVR-950Q USB card on the inside of the case too. Then the mods would be complete.

Edit: I got some pics:

and lenovo Q110

I just read something about the HP Mini 311. It has an Atom processor and the ION chipset.

I wish they'd put together something like this with the Atom 330.

Yeah, I don't need a new netbook or laptop. But when one becomes available with the Atom 330/ION combo, I'm gonna get it.
