Via Launches New Line of Mini-ITX Boards

An anonymous reader writes "LinuxDevices has the skinny on Via's next-generation Epia EN mini-ITX boards, which feature its relatively new C7 processors based on the Esther C5J core. The boards will be able to run passively cooled at 1.2GHz, and will clock up to 2GHz, with 800MHz FSBs." From the article: "They target thin clients, car PCs, robotics, medical equipment, kiosks, and server appliances."

What does hot product really mean?

"It even overheated when it wasn't in the box."

Wow! Did it burst into flames on the store shelf?

"They target thin clients.."

What about those of us who aren't so thin? Have they had problems with the not so thin using their boards?
