Noted in System Info that the cpu was running around 124F - is that considered normal temp? I added taller feet to the case when I first got it to raise it a bit off the table for more airflow...

That sounds about normal 124F is about 51C.
Max temp is usually around 90 - 100C or 194 - 212F.

I have a new one too but I am not allowed it until next week, can't think why!
Do these boxes open up ok without having to prise them apart?

If you have a small suction cup, it might make getting the bottom off easier. Not knowing "what" was actually holding it on after I undid the screws, it took me a while to figure out that there weren't any snaps or anything... it was just a really snug fit that made it seem like it was stuck on, when it really wasn't!

Hi
Bought this box last week and set it up to boot direct to Kodi so thanks to Matt for the awesome guide.
Was thinking now of getting a VPN for this box but I havent a clue on which VPN to buy or more importantly on how to set the box up to use VPN.
Is there a good guide/tutorial/video showing how to set up VPN once I have decided on which VPN to get?

I'm a noob and could use some help. I've never done anything like this so please bear with me. I bought the Asus Chromebox and I'm trying to get everything set up. I followed the instructions but I can't get it to boot into anything other then ChromeOS. The first thing that shows up after boot is the OS Verification is OFF screen. After that it boots right into ChromeOS. I'm obviously missing something somewhere. I went ahead and restored and back to factory and will try again if someone would be so kind to point me in the right direction.
Thanks!
