Just got my ION A up and running as a NAS. Quite a bit of overkill there 
as all I need are the SATA and LAN connectors, plus VGA+KBD to get 
everything set up.

Both fans running at 7v (Case and CPU) and it is pretty quiet. Not sure 
about running the ION A fanless though.


So I will turn that board into my HD client for VDR as soon as I get a 
board more suited to be a NAS.
