Will you do a review when they will have it in stock?

Those could be very nice for a media center / light gaming PC under a TV. Price is so-so though.

ASUS didn't price these rather competitively
You could say the same about every Asus product that isn't for the mainstream market...

Would seriously consider one of these. It would be perfect if the maximum TDP could be configured through BIOS (10 to 25 Watt as far as I know). That way the user can decide whether to have a completely silent (passive cooling) mode with 10 Watt, up to high performance with 25W with the fan revved up. Although... maybe a 4300GE, 4400GE or 4700GE would also be an awesome idea if it can manage to have a passive cooling mode to be able to use it as HTPC.

What I would do for a NUC that could fit 5mm thick HDD's in them. The Asrock A300 Desk Mini came really close to checking off all the boxes, but on top of not being able to use the stock AMD cooler (without modifying), they were just a mm or two off from being able to fit the large-capacity hard drives.

Hopefully they will make an A500 with the A520 chipset and they also fix the size-related quirks you are looking for, but I doubt it.
