ASRock ION 330-BD
Identical to the ION 330 but with a Blu-Ray drive instead of DVD. The addition of Blu-Ray makes this a very special machine. If you are buying a Mini-PC for home theater purposes then it makes sense to have one able to take over the roles of all devices. This ASRock is the first step along that path. The Mini-PC itself is nice and powerful (more than neccesary for an HTPC) although lacking in Wi-Fi or eSATA.

There is a newer version of this Mini-PC (ASRock ION 330HT-BD) that is aimed specifically at the home theatre marketplace and adds the missing Wi-Fi and eSATA.

This is a very significant Mini-PC in that it integrates a Blu-Ray player. Although it has now been superceeded by it's own successor, it's still one of the most capable home theatre Mini-PCs you can buy.
