Media center PC's still plague the minds of all home enthusiasts looking to get the most out of their large, and most of the newly bought big screen TVs. Regardless of weather the HTPC (Home Theatre PC) you are building is designed to accompany your 60′ High Definition ~ Ultra Everything Plasma TV or just breathe life into an old not so everything TV, it is important to maximize your bank for your buck. This means that the components of the system you are building have to be relatively inexpensive, space conscious, and still deliver the performance to play your 1080p flicks. Jetway has a series of boards intended to do just that. Today we will be taking a look at the NC96-510-LF, a Mini ITX board which will not break your budget. The motherboard arrived a package not much bigger than the board itself as can be seen from the pictures. The board came with a couple of goodies which were located in the compartment right above the the motherboard. The goodies included: Driver CD, Manual, Serial Cable, 2 x SATA Cables, and a Back-plate. While there are 2 of the 510-LF series boards that are available from Jetway, these boards have several key differences between them.
