What do you guys think of this for an OpenELEC nettop?



Case: Brushed black aluminum, 44mm tall
CPU: Atom D2550
GPU: NVIDIA GT610 with 1GB DDR3 discrete video memory
RAM: 4GB DDR3
HDD: 32GB SSD
Wifi: 802.11b/g/n with two wireless antenna
Rear ports: HDMI, VGA, SPDIF(optical), 2 x USB2.0, Gigabit LAN, headphone, microphone.
Accessories: 60W AC adapter, USB hub, HDMI cable

I don't know the retail pricing yet but it should be well under $400 with everything listed above included. All that would remain would be to install OpenELEC on it.

I am going to order a sample to try. I've never used OpenELEC before so this will be a good learning experience. And, later, if people are interested I could get more.

Does this look good for an OpenELEC nettop?

Looks like it would be pretty decent for an openelec box. I've got a few much older atom based nettop boxes with lesser specs (Acer revo 1600) that run openelec quite well for me.

From all my reading, it seems Intel CPU + NVIDIA GPU is the sweet-spot for OpenELEC. Is that because that's the popular hardware (maybe out of habit) or because it's best supported by OpenELEC?

The wifi card is a Broadcom card so I hope it is supported.
