It's not. I saw the little piece of crap at Fry's. The processor is permanently soldered to the board and it has a tiny heatsink on it with a small, maybe 40mm at the most, high speed fan. Like a crappy northbridge cooler.

Antec and other case makers sell nice HTPC cases the size of DVD players that'll fit mATX motherboards with real processors in them.

This VIA crap is a novelty toy. It's meant for cash registers.

By the way, the motherboard/CPU combo was under 100 bucks.
