Thanks for the pics! Gotta a few questions for you when you have some time.
1. The remote/ir that's included. Is it a true ehome/rc6 device? Seems a lot of times these manufacturers don't stick with that standard.
2. How loud can that blower fan get? Seems a few reviewers mentioned it can get pretty loud so this might not be appropriate for the bedroom

Is it just me that thinks it looks like a huge fag packet?

Here is a quick update. Unfortunatelly I didn't have that much time on the weekend.
As you can guess the CPU is pretty powerful. That means 1080p video playback is not a problem at all. Tested it with a 10GB video file and it worked like a treat.
The case gets very hot though. The heat sink of the CPU is attached straight to the aluminium case. The max temperature of the CPU I've seen so far was around 70C. Even when it's so warm, I can hardly hear the blower fan.
I haven't been able to set up the built-in TV tuner for whatever reason. The windows device manager lists an unknown device which I'm sure is the TV tuner. But when I'm trying to install the drivers I get a message like 'Could not install drivers because the TV Tuner was not found'. Tried different drivers without success. I'm currently waiting for a reply from their support.
So far I'm very happy with it and it's exactly what I wanted - something tiny,quiet and powerful.
