Hello... Keep in mind, ATi Radeon video does not support 2D acceleration in Haiku at this time nor does it support Widescreen modes. I see your argument for wanting to save money, but I have done some of my homework and, unless you want to sacrifice some luxuries, you might be spending a bit extra. I do know that I can probably build a Micro ATX box for a bit less than this Mini-ITX, but I needed something that would take up as little space as possible. Matt
