This board is for home multimedia system where you watch movies , play music and video clips and so on.The C3 core has integrated eth , north and south bridge , USB support , EIDE , and many other things you may need for such a system.Actually it has everything needed for multimedia system.The most important thing here is to be quiet and compact ... with this board you get everything.I want to mention that C3 needs just a passive cooling (radiator).
One more thing - I`m not sure about the RAM but I think it`s integrated and ir is not upgradeable.
Here's another picture of the board with mounted cooler and cables attached on it :
