]]> Comment on Samsung UN55ES8000 Review by Riley M http://www.htpc-reviews.com/samsung-un55es8000-review/comment-page-1#comment-842 Riley M Tue, 01 May 2012 20:00:38 +0000 http://www.htpc-reviews.com/?p=13423#comment-842 Great review! I think that the Samsung ES8000 is one of the best looking TVs that I have ever seen. It is amazing how Samsung was able to fit all that technology into a package that is super slim. I am in the market for a new TV because I let my parents have my previous TV since they recently upgraded their Dish account to free HD. They wouldn’t have wanted a TV so advanced anyways. I’ve been getting help on what brands to look into from a few colleagues at Dish, and I think Samsung has been a top player. I can’t wait to play with one of these, and I really can’t wait for football season to start! Great review! I think that the Samsung ES8000 is one of the best looking TVs that I have ever seen.

Somewhat less great for airflow in that direction in a small case. http://news.softpedia.com/newsImage/CeBIT-2012-Asus-Presents-High-End-P8Z77-I-Deluxe-Mini-ITX-Motherboard-4.jpg/ On second thought, if you look at a 3/4″ view of the board there is a vertical daughter board with the VRM on it.

It has a display port first of all; I've been using 2560x1600 for my itx boxes for years and I won't build with any mini-itx motherboard that does not have a displayport. Airflow on the cases I've used normally goes from side-to-side so having the power connectors, memory, and sata at the front of the board works out really well for airflow.
