it had a d-sub connector or did you use an adapter?

I'm connected with VGA (with an DVI-VGA converter), and I had no problem. One question. What is your ICH and MCH temperature after 1 or 2 hour usage? (See Bios, monitoring section) Thanks, I'm going to test on another monitor (don't have an adapter though, so I'll use DVI again), if it works I'll g...

soa, how do you have it hooked up to video? I'm having trouble getting video on mine. Currently connected to my lcd monitor with DVI, no drives connected to it.

Wow...the specs say it has 5 sata ports plus one esata. I like. :) Especially because it seems Intel likes to put only four sata ports on their micro-atx boards. Update: Whoops---looks like Dell's site was misleading...it's four sata ports, plus one external. It's so hard to find a good small board...

Received it today. Don't have a processor to put in it though, so I'll have to wait for it to arrive

Here are some pictures I got from AVS.

Too bad that "Review" is absolutely terrible and barely qualifies as one. There's no comparisons against other integrated at all and barely any benchmarks. Also the G45 chipset is new and the drivers definitely aren't up to snuff yet. I'm waiting for a legit review of a decent board with some actua...

Digging this thread back up, Mini-box is now stocking the board. I purchased it along with a pico-psu and replacement heatsink. Will post again when I get it with pics.

Here's a fun fact, Acronis True Image is now shipping with some Intel boards. One of which is the DG45FC.

Mini-box now has it. Not in stock though.

Mini-box will be stocking the DG45FC

Dear Sir,

Yes, we will have the Intel DG45FC motherboard for sale in the shortest time possible. Please browse our webpage from time to time for updates. Should you need other details, please contact us!

Best Regards,

LogicSupply apparently doesn't have a very informed customer service department: Dear Ahmed, Unfortunately we do not find desktop boards work well with the smaller cases. Currently we do not have any plans to carry that motherboard. Regards, Scott Aguiar Customer Service Manager Logic Supply, Inc. P...

well damn, nobody told me this before . Time to get started then

well poo, I'm not really surprised by that to be honest. Oh well.

I'm probably going to get something like an E4600. I need something that can handle 720p content since I'm probably going to run linux on it (unless drivers are terrible). I'm probably going to end up using a northbridge heatsink modified with heatpipes to a peltier since my case is going to be craz...

Can you test out how it handles video playback? These are just different sizes of the indiana jones trailer.


480p

720p

1080p

As soon as someone finds a US shop selling the DG45FC, post!

Thanks for the link

We've been posting about the DG45FC over in this thread. So far we've gotten specs, board layout, and a couple other tid bits on it. Should be out in a week or so for around 150USD.

Here's the Technical documents for the DG45FC.

I'll update this post with other docs I find.

The board that I can't wait to get my hands on is the DG45FC mentioned here: http://mini-itx.com/. H264 and VC1 hardware decoders, HDMI, GbE, PCIe, SPDIF, all in a mini-itx package. What more could one ask for? Same here, this is the board I've been waiting for. As soon as it hits the shelves I'm g...

I'm seeing prices of 106,36 € and 116,00 €. Probably not very reliable, but those are some pretty enticing prices

Intel has confirmed release for June at the Computex Show in Taipei. There's also some more info about Other boards coming out, with an interesting figure of being able to build a system for under 300 for their low-cost boards.

Read here VIA has released over 16,000 lines of code that provides a frame-buffer driver in the Linux kernel. This code is licensed under the GNU GPLv2 and appears to be crafted by VIA's Joseph Chan. Supported by this driver is VIA's Unichrome CLE266, K400, K800, PM800, CN700, CX700, K8M890, P4M890...

Excellent. I looked into that and posted in the motherboard forum.

Does anyone have a recommendation for a CompactFlash to IDE adapter? Reading the reviews off newegg, some support DMA, others don't.

I'm working on getting more info, but that's pretty much all I have for the time being. The DG45C is designed for media applications, such as HTPC. the DQ45EK is primarily for desktop applications, workstations, demos, etc. The pricing I got off the video I linked, which sounds like it'll be in the ...

I was about to make a thread about this. This is what I've gotten so far: There's going to be two versions, the DG45FC with the following: Intel Core2Duo (1333Mhz FSB) GMA X4500HD Graphics G45 Chip ViiV technology DVI and HDMI output HDDVD and Bluray encoding Two DDR2 800 slots, up to 4GB Gigabit Et...

I've been planning to build a mini-itx htpc for awhile. I put together this list about 6 months ago: AOpen i945GTt-VFA Intel Core Duo T2300 Yonah 1.66GHz G.SKILL 1GB (2 x 512MB) SO-DIMM DDR2 667 However I've been out of the loop for awhile. I need a board that is the size of mini-itx due to case siz...

Let me know if this is just a pipe dream. As my actual computer is full atx. Given the dimensions you listed for the enclosure, you may have to switch to µATX, as existing cases with similar dimensions that I'm aware of are all such. Certainly there is enough room to pack everything in there with ...

Hey guys, Awhile ago I got my hands on a nice looking receiver for a surround sound system. The system itself is really low quality, so I'm kind wanting to gut it and convert it to a computer case. My case isn't exactly something I would want to show off, and getting myself a P180/2 is a bit outside...
