Anyone have suggestions of hardware for a new frodo system? I need to be able to do full blu ray playback with HD audio output. I am looking at a few Acer and Zotac that have AMD e450 processors and ati 6320 video. Anyone have one? any problems?

How much are you looking to spend?
Are you wanting a pre-built unit or a unit that you build yourself?

Pre setup thing like the revo 3700 etc are preferable. I see acer has an updated some things. I see RL70-UR10P, and X1 AX1430-UD30P. The both have the amd e-450 processor and ati 6230 video. Is this enough to run full 1080p blu ray, with full HD audio thru HDMI? I could build a system but for the money these all in one systems are cheap enough and is all set up in a small case and ready to go.

I have the AsRock E350M1, and it is too weak to run XBMC+Windows7+BD-ROM+bitstreaming....I installed Nvidia GT430 in it to get smooth playback. If you get the pre-built, there is no room for a discrete GPU.......

The Q180 will bitstream your hd audio using Frodo as long as you have a receiver capable of using the hd audio streams. The Acer unit's won't ! I have set up a relatives Q180 and it will play full bluray iso's using hd audio perfectly.... in fact its made me upgrade my acer 3700 (just waiting now) !!

Do you notice that you are replying to a very very very old thread?
