Re: Suggestions for mini-itx mobo for HA/home server

["seniorsimon" <simon.ryley@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Jon,

I've just made the same upgrade, from the same epia 800, for similar
reasons.

I went with the Jetway J75FM http://tinyurl.com/2yrp4w

1.2Ghz fanless, but max 1Gb of RAM, (which cost me =A317)

I specifically went with this board as I wanted DVI to plug into my TV
and use as a media player, there are other cheaper Jetways with the
same processor but no DVI.

Its literally sitting on my desk next to me after I ordered it from
linitx yesterday.  (They turned out to be the cheapest, and are well
known to the list)

I can let you know how it works once I do the upgrade tomorrow.

Hope this helps,

Simon
