Just out of curiosity, what's the difference between getting just the mobo alone instead of the one with the case? Is the freedom of creating your own case the only advantage? In that case, can you order the regular one and then play with the mobo as you please. I'm curious.
Rob, I think the purpose of the B-110 is that you get to put it in something that suits your taste. It can also accomodate more hard drives, (two SATA and presumably two IDE, as well as USB drives and perhipherals like wifi sticks).
Of course, the 7.1 sound would have made it brilliant, becuase a lot of people would find that useful, and it's not easy to fit on the other Popcorn Hour devices.
