PcCI2iminal: You seem to have a pretty good "IN" with Biostar...

The 785G and sideport memory are really nice options for a mATX/HTPC but they seem to keep missing one really important aspect of these types of boards.. Where is the Optical Audio out?

I have a TA790GX-A2+, it's a nice board for the money and I would actually like to put it in my Home Theater box but I don't run my sound through the HDMI cable, I run it through my reciever (optical)...

The PWM section of the board looks pretty weak too... Not a problem for an HTPC, but the lack of optical audio kind of leaves this board in limbo as far as I'm concerned.

Not a serious overclocker, and doesn't have the feature most HTPC folks would want...

I'm not trying to be a man, but they should really add Optical out if they want to compete in the HTPC market...
