Nice, I've just been looking at the N3150DC-ITX and N3700-ITX, and they look good. The DC models are interesting to remove the noisy power unit. Will keep those in mind whenever I want to upgrade the HP Pavilion, thanks!

But as you can see in the post just above yours, I'm currently using a laptop mobo with its DC power.
Here are more pics of the laptop after taking of the keyboard and top out:

 

I didn't see your latest post, ended up answering the 2 years old post... Anyway, can't beat a free alternative ;)
