Not much cheaper then a core-2 duo minii itx board though.
Perhaps, but you'd still have to buy a CPU. And is the integrated video of said Core 2 Duo Mini-ITX motherboard able to play back full 1080P HD video (possibly, given the power of the CPU)? What about power and cooling requirements? I don't know the answers off the top of my head, but that is important information when making a comparison to the product listed.
