Specifications
Now normally and even when considering that this is a Mini ITX-based motherboard one can see at first glance that there is nothing special, however a closer look will reveal that this product comes with an IvyBridge-based dual core Celeron CPU and all for the price of around £50GBP. Yes you read correctly only £50 so anyone thinking of building a home theatre PC will certainly pay attention to this product.
