Zotac 630i mini ITX (WiFi Edition)

This one's for all you HTPC buffs out there.
Small size, Add-in WiFi module, Low power consumption.
Single channel memory, no PureVideo support, Expensive.
Zotac has recently updated their 630i based Mini-ITX motherboard by integrating WiFi with it. Though it seems like a minor upgrade, the main aim of releasing such a board is either for an HTPC or maybe a download rig with the addition of WiFi for those who may need it.
The 630i chipset has been around for more than a year now and comes with a Nvidia 7150 for the onboard graphics. The ITX boards however feature a 7100 graphics core which has full DirectX 9c processing capabilities (no DX10 obviously). This is probably not the best when it comes to handling 1080p (or even 720p for that matter) content but we'll find out soon enough.
Bundle
The accessories are quite a bunch and include the following,
-Instruction manual (Motherboard/WiFi)
-IDE cable
-1x SATA connector
-1x SATA to Molex converter
-Chipset driver CD and WiFi driver CD
-I/O shield
-WiFi module
-DVI to HDMI converter
-Case badge

What is the point of having WiFi for a carputer? To sneak wifi from unguarded access points? Or would you like to sit in your garage and surf the internet?

A wifi in car computer has immense value. You can register for hotspots offered by various companies (you buy an account and surf anywhere). If not, when my car is parked in the garage, the computer can wakeup apply updates, sync data, download data. Who says no wifi on the car?? I wish the board had atleast 1 PCI and 1 PCI express slot. sigh! Waiting for the dual core atom here as well!
