NES Retro Media Center

Today I got my VIA Epia P820 from Mini-ITX.de. Right now I have all the parts that I need som hopefully there will be alot of posts from now on. Lets start with the unboxing of the P820 moderboard!

I know I have said it before but now I will now wait any longer. The brand new VIA EPIA-P820 with the new 64-Bit Nano processor, have a look at there homepage! Since the board is so new it is hard to find resellers that ship to Sweden but the VIA’s Facebook group have helped me a lot.

So far I think these shops will ship to Sweden:

• http://via-itx.com/via-amos-3000-series.html
• www.mini-tft.de

A new form factor has been released today, the board measures 6×6 cm. Read more in there press release.

Finally! This is what I have been looking for: “The fanless VIA EPIA-P720 Pico-ITX provides superb hardware acceleration for HD media over native HDMI at resolutions of up to 1080p”. Now I just need to find a reseller or should I wait to the new VIA Nano 3000 64-bit CPU? :)

Sorry for not beeing so active here. I have been working on my OpenBSD router/firewall built on an Alix 2d3 board with flashdist. For the media center The future is looking very good! Just look at Fit PC2 and P710-HD!

The VIA Surfboard C855 meets this demand by providing flawless playback of high bit-rate 1080p HD video, which along with support for internal display resolutions of up to 1366 x 768 pixels and external display resolutions up to 1920 x 1440 pixels, the latest high definition VIA Vinyl Audio, and a wide range of connectivity options, allows for a rich on-the-go multimedia experience.

The future is looking bright! VIA is now presenting a new platform called Trinity and Nvidia have taken up the competition. Enjoy!
