VIA Epia SP 13000 Review

Posted by timothy on from the small-bigness dept.

Nehemiah writes "Epiacenter.com just published a review on the brand-new VIA Epia SP 13000 mini-itx mainboard. It's the first VIA Epia board with the CN400 chipset and, together with the new epiOS Linux distribution that is announced in the review, it seems to have a very good performance during MPEG2/MPEG4 playback."

    I know the hardware is a little more expensive, but I'd most definitely proscribe a Mac Mini instead. PC components just don't seem to be designed with longevity in mind anymore, and it gets worse when you pack all that stuff into a tiny cube.

    If you're about the cool factor (which is probably the case here) just buy regular-sized hardware, a polyurethane case and LEDs. You don't even need to put an OS on it, just the stickers.

    It's too bad Mac Minis make horrible PVRs, because they're pretty quiet.

    I've never had a good experience with a VIA chipset motherboard.

    Sure they're cheap, but thats about all I can say about them.

    This reeks of Astroturf..
