Anyone at ALL had any success on getting HD Media server up and running, it seems the general consensus is current mini-itx is insufficient to support it.

What exactly is "HD Media Server" 
Is this a NAS? XBMC box? What? what do you mean by "insufficient"?
You can run a NAS on a Mini-itx with the right board if you look hard enough, it will just likely be limited by slots and SATA connectors. A few unRAID guys run mini-itx just fine <shrug>

yeah, what you talkin' bout willis?
mini-itx media servers work just fine!
look at the zotac NM10-b-e. 6 SATA Ports, dual core, what more do you want?

HDMediaServer
-----------------------------------------------------------------
by this I mean for example an XBMC setup that will plat Bluray, Bluray-rips in MKV format, that will not jitter!
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Also 6 Sata would come in handy too for media storage

Mini-ITX is a motherboard size spec. You can get a Mini-ITX motherboards with a variety of CPU and GPUs. You need to be more specific.

My apologies I mean an all in one fan-less system built in Graphics and CPU.

Again, several version of flavors of this are available too. Toss a dart here -> http://www.logicsupply.com/categories/mainboards These are all Mini-ITX with some Nano-ITX and Pico-ITX.

To be honest my main issue...or question is have people had any good experiences building a blu-ray enabled HD playing system successfully with an XBMC setup.
as I have said the consensus from what i read is mini fanless systems integrated graphics and cpu dont have the power to do FULL HD systems.

Do these boards work well under a HD environment.
