[H]ard|OCP reviews GIGABYTE GA-MA69GM-S2H

With passive cooling, mini-ATX form factor, onboard HDMI, plenty of expanion, and a price tag that’s easy on the wallet ($77) I think that this looks like the perfect base for an HTPC project and the folks over at [H]ard|OCP seem to agree.

Don’t let size fool you. GIGABYTE’s latest AM2 based board, the GA-MA69GM-S2H, packs a wallop in its Micro ATX package. It easily stayed with or ahead of the rest of the AM2 crowd, and even managed to close the performance gap with the Intel Core2 based systems.
