 Does Everything I'd ask of it. February 1, 2010

For a HTPC this is great. Small almost silent and powerful enougth for XBMC, Boxee, and Hulu Desktop with newer Flash 10.1 all while running Windows 7.
The only issues I have is that it doesn't come with an OS and then It must be installed with a usb device. Not a huge problem for me but for others perhaps.
Also while it does have a fan and make a little noise I feel that doesn't matter as the fans on my sata external drive is louder than the actual pc.
For the cash and size this is a perfect machine for me.
Good specs for an Intel Atom March 15, 2010

I really like this Zotac box, and have it hooked up to my tv running Ubuntu 9.10 with XBMC for cataloging and watching videos. It runs well, except you need to update the BIOS to get the Suspend function working correctly, and it comes without an OS, which means no Windows tax. Make sure to get the NVIDIA drivers, and to make sure that the software is utilizing the GPU, because otherwise the Intel chip is pretty underpowered, but it works well for 1080p within XBMC when I have the GPU (VDPAU) activated.
Great for XBMC XCI 1.08 April 13, 2010

I bought this computer specifically to use as a media center. It met all my requirements under Linux. It supports VPDAU, audio over HDMI, and has a gigabit ethernet port. A custom build to these specs wouldn't have been much cheaper. However, if you are looking for something that you might want to upgrade, keep in mind that the case is hard to open. Also, it does not come with an OS. For me, this was not a problem. The XCI installer script (google it) on top of an Ubuntu minimal install set the system up perfectly for my needs. If you are not savvy enough to get this going on your own, the Acer Revo with Windows pre-installed might be a better choice. Also, keep in mind that you will have to use an external DVD drive or a USB drive to install anything.
Nice little HTPC system February 25, 2010

Definitely a nice HTPC system. I have it connected to my 42" Plasma.
I have a review and a video at [...]
Also, installation notes, power use, software experience and more.
My overall impressions of the system are overwhelmingly positive. Aside from a few minor issues, it has exceeded my expectations.
I purchased this little PC with the intention of using it for an HTPC (Home Theatre PC). Specifically I wanted to be able to play Hulu and Boxee, Pandora, and my CD collection from a network server. Most importantly, I wanted to be able to use it as a MythTV DVR frontend (viewer).check back for updates on how that is going I did not expect to be able to use it as the backend (recorder) - I expected that it would not be powerful enough. That's yet to be determined. I also expect that I will be using it for browsing the net when I need to do that jointly with my wife or company (hey, what does IMDB say about actor Blah, or what does Wikipedia think about this or the other.).
In brief:
Pros:
# Nice design. Very compact, stylish.
# Dual-core Atom with hyperthreading. The Task Manager shows it as four processors.
# NVIDIA ION chip - a HUGE improvement over Intel's own graphics shipset.
# HDMI output - carries both video and audio,
# Multi-monitor support.
# FAST networking, not just any networking.
# BONUS: HDCP support -
# ANOTHER BONUS: GPU-accelerated encoding/transcoding!
# No OS supplied.
# No keyboard, no mouse.
# The case has a neat amber LED ring that glows when the PC is turned on.
# It is literally whisper quiet.
# Very low power draw.
# Some nice trial software included on the driver CD.
Cons:
1. Biggest so far is the reception on the wireless card. The antenna must be weak.
2. HDD and Power LEDs are a hwee bit too bright.
3. Having a little trouble getting sound over HDMI to work. The driver under XP doesn't seem to have that option. That's the driver that came on the CD; I will try downloading updated drivers from the ZOTAC site. UPDATE - new driver from the ZOTAC website fixed the problem.
4. Case is not meant to be opened.
5. The HDD is only 5400 rpm.
Great product for the price March 23, 2010

I loved this one because it has HDMI and Fiber output so I can connect HDMI to my TV and Fiber to my Home Theater. This is awesome.
