[QUOTE="Sepulchre, post: 1121405, member: 105851"] Hi, I thought I would post back an update now that I have the ZBOX which is set-up and running. Windows 7 installed very quickly from a USB stick, MePo installed and all settings copied from my main HTPC in no time. I'm connecting to my NAS via wifi - sorry Resa, its my only option just now ;). The ZBOX runs very quietly, its virtually silent when not streaming, fan noise is also very quiet when it is streaming and can only be heard occasionally when the sound is off on the TV. MePo runs very well, no lags in the UI 720p content plays without issues, skipping backwards or forwards is as fast as my main HTPC 1080p content played fine last night but seems a little jerky today, I will look into this more. For the desired use as an occasional HTPC for the bedroom which needed to be silent, small and able to be hidden behind the TV (an optional Vesa mount is available for it which I've now ordered) I would say its an excellent choice add to this the low cost I'm pretty pleased! If anyone does go for this option please be aware the bare-bones version ships with a 1.5Ghz processor whilst the version I picked up ships with a 1.8Ghz processor.
