Are there any good suggestions for a small, prebuilt PC that is suitable for a full-featured XBMC HTPC? I've been toying with the AT5IONT-I as my current HTPC, but it's not 100% functional. If I knew more about linux, it may not be as much of a problem, but there are a couple of important (to me) things that I can't get to work.
One is standby. I can't for the life of me get this to work. It's a low power PC, but it is currently running 24/7. That's wasteful and ultimately will kill the PC sooner.
The other is resuming from standby. This is another big factor, because as a HTPC should work via remote. I know there are some add on modules that make this possible, and I may investigate those more.
Other things include cases, cpu/gpu temp stats, etc.
So, is there a good prebuilt hardware that is "certified" to work out of the box with XBMC?
