Overclockers.com try out the Eden 1400 (533mhz) as a multimedia player - with great results.
May 27, 2002

This is more like it, a practical look at the Eden, instead of stale benchmarks:

"The Via Eden 1400 is an integrated motherboard, which has an on-board Via Eden ESP 533 MHz, built-in video and TV-out, sound and LAN. But the most important thing to my eyes - the footprint. God, this board is small: 170x170mm. This, in conjunction with other moves, would allow me to drastically reduce the size of the multimedia player (the motherboard used before, the CUSL2-M, was 240x210mm).

I opened the case to find out that the ATX power connector, strangely, was not connected. It must have been the work of some mystic being roaming around the room (probably the spirit of some dead CPU).

Anyway, I have to say I had a blast designing and building it. Aside from watercooling, it was my first do-it-all project. I have to say I'm quite satisfied with the overall result."
