Yes, dreaming is nice, and I hope Jens do keep on dreaming for us all so we will all end up with quantum-puters 
The only reason to get a board like this is when your tight on space. AND wish to have something that doesn't consume that much power.
I do hope that you use atx-cases for your htpc's - otherwise you're more brave then I will ever be 
My only reason for investing in a mini-itx board was that I didn't like wasting so much space as my other computer did, and I found a old NES, butchered it and crammed the itx-board into it.
I know, the price versus functionallity is... I run all my other things on older machines, they don't consume that much power, doesn't warm up the room to much, and since I have all that kind of stuff in a 19" rack - I don't need to save that much space.. (only fuses when I'm stupid enough to connect the vacuumer to the same fuse as ... yeah.. *poff* )
