I was wondering if the reported power usage of the system under load (225W and idle 125W) was correct as is very high.
I would have expected the power consumption for such Mini-ITX board (combined with the Intel E8500 - 65W TDP) to be 100-120W under load, and 60-80W idle.

Also, could you provide details of which boards were used for comparison, as the only details provided were 'Intel G45' and 'VIA Nano'.

Regarding the display output, Zotac do offer DVI+VGA dual-display in another similar model "Zotac NForce630i-ITX". Please refer to this URL:

Thanks for your interest!

Small error at that link -- it says 4 SATA ports, but the image shows 2.

More generally ...
I hope Zotac updates these to nForce 730i / GeForce 9x00 chipsets PDQ. And in doing so make sure:
* DL-DVI is supported
* HDMI over DVI is supported
* GbE added (even better 2x GbE :-)
* and another two SATA would be nice.
