I'd generally avoid amd graphics with Linux, but that is pretty cheap.

Yes, it is quite the deal. I'm tempted to grab it just for the price to have a spare machine in case I need one.

Can you put evidence on your statement? Actually I'm running a A6 3500 with OpenElec 2.0 and everything is working very well. No artifacts, no glitches, everything is running fine.

Was an excellent deal. Just so no one has to go through what I did. It shows that they are in stock, so I ordered the barebones with the ssd. It went through and then I received an e-mail that 1 of the items was not in stock ( the Foxconn). Then I received another e-mail saying that ssd would be shipped at the regular price $74.99. Just got off the phone with newegg explaining that I didn't want the ssd if it didn't come free with the package. So I had them cancel everything. Oh well, would have loved to get in on that deal
