Wether you call that fairly cheap is up to you but it seems as the cooling
is silent enough for htpc use.

So conclusion is

Upside
Fairly cheap
Good hardware
Easy assemle
Form factor

Downside
Active cooling
No IR

Did I miss anything?

No optical might be considered a downside....

Mhm but how to fix the IR Problem. Without IR you can't use it as a htpc.

 

[RicoHTPC]

There are external ir receivers like aeone offers them for example. More interesting for me is wether the board has an cir port or not...

 

[disaster123]

cir?

 

[RicoHTPC]

Cir receivers give you the option to start you pc from s5.

 

[disaster123]

Oh yes that would be very important.
