Dear xbmc fanatics, as my jetway nc98-d525 became redundant I like to re-use it as a 'set top box' for in the bedroom, which means it needs to be able to stream HD content from my NAS and dreambox ( live HD tv ), also it should be able to decode bluray without stuttering ( should be ok with nvidia ion2 gpu imho ). So the "magic combination" I am thinking of is:

- nc98 intel atom d525
- 4Gb Kingston DDR800 ( already installed 2x2Gb )
- 30Gb OCZ Vertex plus 2,5" SSD ( spare part stocked on my shelves )
- iPazzPort Commander Voice Bluetooth: KP-810-18BVR ( just ordered )
- bluetooth 4.0 usb dongle
- optionally I will add a blu ray slimline to my:
- Silverstone LC19 housing

As the stb needs to connect to a nas and stb, both based on Linux and over gigabit LAN, for video streaming it is worth going for nfs shares instead of cifs imho, therefore the xbmcbuntu for nvidia/intel would be the preferred xbmc to install. Also because I might fiddle around with the kernel to optimise ( break ) things :-).
The bluetooth 4.0 usb dongle might need to be reconsidered as at this stage I am not certain how the support is in linux also in combination with the remote control: anyone can recommend specific blutooth devices?

Looking forward to your pros and cons about this config

if youre using the d525 why don't you just get something like this?

and add the ssd, upgrade the ram, add a bluray

I like the housing indeed - however basically you are telling me throw away your current stuff and buy for USD99,99 a new item including housing - nahhh I cannot do that - ;-)
