The feet look a bit naff but you could replace them.

The looks is ok, but unfortunately it doesn't seem to support an extension card

I will probably go for win then, which will be less of a hassle according to my skills

You think WIN7 will be easier to install than OpenELEC?
It takes less then 5 minutes to install OpenELEC for somebody with no Linux skills, compared to an install of >30 minutes for WIN7.

Plus the added benefit of extremely fast boot times when using OpenELEC. Do yourself a favour and try OpenELEC before you try win7

I will probably give it a shot, I just hope it's install and forget because I don't have the required knowledge to mess with the guts of a linux distro, something I'd be happy to do with a windows setup
In terms of boot time, it does not really matter as long as navigation in XBMC itself is snappy and fast, which should be achieved whatever the OS is with a SSD.

I am late to the party... but the OpenELEC installer is downright fool-proof.

Literally takes under 10 minutes to be up and running. Simple and speedy!
