    I think it is brilliant.

    After looking at the Acer Aspire Revo, the ASRock ION330, the Asus eeeBox and the Dell zino HD and several home build options I find this one the most interesting to use as a pure MP client. Because;

    It comes w/o an OS, which shows in the price (non my PC's run the OS I had to buy with them).
    It does not come with a large HD, which shows in the price (an MP client only needs about 10GB of HDD).
    It does not come with an optical drive, which shows in the price (all media reside on the MP media server)
    It has VGA for my current 32" display (does not accept native resolution on HDMI) and it has HDMI for my next 46" HD display.
    It has S/PDif to connect to my logitech Z5500 (only optical though, I will have to invest in a cable).
    It can hide behind the TV with the VEGA mount.
    It just needs an HP MCE IR remote control/blaster added.

    Anybody any experience with this one?

    YES, I have experience with it :D.

    And I just LOVE it. It works great also for HD and I connected an HD projector to it to create an 108" image. See 'ongoing HTPC projects'.

    I had the same feeling about MP1, nothing was working out of the box, it was full of hardcoded dependencies and bugs. That’s how I came to MP2 and I’m very happy with it ;)
