- AMD E350 / HD 6310 APU (this board)
- 4gb DDR3 ram (1 x 4GB)
- HDMI
- built in card reader
- gigabit Ethernet
- handles full HD video / audio over HDMI
- full aluminium case
- silent - can be run fan-less
- low powered (~30w under full load)
- comes boxed
- includes a kingston compact mouse (works great with XBMC)

Have come across this being offered for sale at £99 in the UK. What do you reckon, for a basic XBMC box running openelec and accessing media stored on a server?

Cheers,

Being amd you won't get hd audio.

Hiya, is this a one off? If not do you have a link? :-)

[nickr]

He posted the link.

The link was just to the mobo - the build itself is a one off (well, at this price) as it's for sale privately.

Thanks nickr, may look at running on Ubuntu instead then so that I could try to implement this http://forum.xbmc.org/showthread.php?tid=174854

Although to be honest, HD Audio isn't a concern at the moment for me - but may be nice to have in the future. That said, I only plan to use this as a main box for 3-6 months, before transferring it to a bedroom as a secondary box. It's just a stop gap really, so that I can put some money into storage instead.

Is that CPU capable of running advanced skins?

HD audio works with latest Openelec build with AMD/E350 thanks to new OSS drivers.
