You can get analog audio via combo jack on the FP, the back 2 x DP's are dual HDMI and DVI also, this will require purchase of adapters, not provided in box.
Snappy piece of hardware, but has a cheapo plastic feel.

$329,...seems a bit pricey right now.
I do like the packaging that these net tops are employing.
and no HDMI,..that very odd.

It's being reported that there's no audio coming from the DisplayPort......THAT'S RIDICULOUS. I have no idea why anyone would want to buy this now...having to plug in a 3.5mm splitter from the front of it for analog sound is absurd. I hope Samsung fixes this with a firmware update. It's bad enough you need to purchase a HDMI to DP adapter.

Apparently you didn't read my comment correctly. No audio through the display port is a deal breaker. Forget about your monoprice adapter, we're talking about a $350+ device that doesn't (or at the time of my original posting) provide any digital audio. No HDMI port is a compromise. No digital audio through any means the device has is again, RIDICULOUS. Not "whining" my friend, this is facts.

I get beautiful sound from my ChromeBox DisplayPort. I use a Siig DisplayPort to HDMI adapter and an HDMI cable plugged into my TV. Try ctrl-F4 to see your display settings.

I can confirm that there is sound through the DisplayPort. I'm using the cheapest DisplayPort to HDMI cable I found from the local electronics store. Works perfectly even through the amplifier.
Has anyone tried running XBMCbuntu on it?

It is a powerful little box, but I wish that it included an HDMI port for bitstreaming HD audio instead of displayport....
