This will be my first Mini PC, and i need help of choosing a versatile MB, i am looking at
Intel BOXDG45FC

or

Intel BOXDQ45EK

Also i am looking for different MB,
Can some body help me?

They're based in the UK i believe but will ship to just about anywhere, for a price of course

Look at the boards with ION chipsets as they can handle HD video, also a dual core atom would be an advisable pairing
 
Thank you both for the website's, I will definitely check out the ION and atom chipsets.
thanks
I will post with complete product
 
If you're going to run Windows, then I would consider this board:

ZOTAC GF9300-D-E GeForce 9300 HDMI WiFi Mini ITX $140+ship 8/1/09

The NVidia on-board graphics are far better for videos and gaming. The PCI-E 2.0x16 slot
may also be a big plus down the road.

For a Linux install, the G45/Q45 chipsets have better OS support.
Either Intel board would be fine, though I would pick the G45's 4500HD graphics.

thanks the board you recommended is really great, and the PCI-EX 2.0 x16 will come handy, can I ask you about this board, its AMD based, the only drawback I can think, it has a only PCI expectation port
