I'm looking to build a relatively cheap Windows HTPC, capable of 1080p (inc flash/silverlight), and I'm trying to decide on which mobo I should go for.
I've seen a number of posts on the Gigabyte GA-C1007UN-D board (http://www.gigabyte.com/products/product...x?pid=4497 ) on this forum and elsewhere but nothing on the Zotac NM70ITX-C-E at all (http://www.zotacusa.com/zotac-nm70-itx-nm70itx-c-e.html ), there is very little about it on the net. Both have the NM70 chipset.
My issue with the Gigabyte board is that it doesn't have USB 3.0, whereas the Zotac does.
Looking through the specs I can't see any reason why the Zotac isn't the better option (both are £70 in the UK).
Am I missing something? Any advice would be appreciated.
