Look here. You can see the adapter that connects to the molex on the board and goes to sata.

Looks like the adapter splits to at least 2 SATA and possibly 3 SATA power connectors

Another image - seems it's doing the rounds now on the Asian sites - hopefully we see it hit the market soon (well, it's hit - but in numbers in Australia!)

What do you mean, it has been out for a while in Europe and the US at least, see here for examples: http://www.linuxtech.net/features/nvidia...-AT3IONT-I

"Australia" was the key destination there.

Oh I see, I didn't really understand what you were trying to say in that bit of your previous post: "well, it's hit - but in numbers in Australia!"

Never mind, got it now.

Please post any reviews on this as I am finally in the place where I decided to dispatch my original xbox to videogame heaven and of the various replacements I have been considering this is looking like a winner

Ah I missed the included adapter, I was just looking at connectors on the board. I thought it was weird that they would give you SATA connectors on the mobo but leave you with that wonky molex.

Wish there was a good HTPC case out there that is designed with the brick outside the box. That would seem to be the best compact solution for this board.

This would do nicely..

Seems unavailable in the US right now.

Sorry I meant the M350 case.

First review has popped up in my Google news alerts... it's in Swedish:

Some really great images of this board, including good closeups with the heatsink removed.

They clock the board at 22W power consumption while idle.

Now as for the all important temps - page #9 lists the following (at the heatsink / Celsius):

No load: 66
1080p movie: 71
CPU/GPU load: 73


Maybe someone can make better sense of these values - not sure at what point they got the 66deg reading - e.g. shortly after stress testing. But it seems weird that such a small jump between idle to 1080p playback. Either the load load temps are lower after time, or the 1080p temps are well over boiling point! Also with a reported 22W draw of power while idle, does 66deg seem a bit high?

Also, in the google translate there is some talk about case and ventilation, and placement on a 'warm amplifier' (maybe trying to simulate 'real world' placements?) but the english is a bit broken. Maybe a true Nordic can help out


Anyway, some food for thought....
