Looks good - interesting HSF assembly on that board - have to keep an eye out on these new Zacate boards - once Linux support is home and hosed (if ever) - looks like the temps are a little nicer on these new AMD chips...
it starts at this moment to windows from an old sata disk ( need a new one
) in 50sec to XBMC so i think for an old ( think sata 150disk ) is not too bad
i've been playing around a bit a few hours and the HP MCE remote went perfectly straight on , just had to change 2 buttons that didnt work ( keystroke C for a menu and info ) the rest just works flawless
tomorrow i'm gonna bootup Xbmc Live and see how that plays ... if it's decent enough for 720P i might stick with it
now i'm off to bed for a 7hr sleep
Looks very nice HansP!
total price is?
Mobo : 109,90€
Ram : 39€
Case : 43€ incl psu external passive
Remote : 15€ 2nd hand
i had a hdd lying arond ...

It doesn't matter since u have to manually install a lot of things so few more is not a big deal.

really easy! just download the .ISO from Ubuntu website, burn to disk or put on USB drive and follow the on screen instructions. I went with Ubuntu 10.10 for my XBMC HTPC. I tried Windows installtion first but preferred Ubuntu because of course you can get different flavours (Xubuntu, Lubuntu, ect)
With a truely 'light' installation you can get a lightning fast boot time with Linux. Someone told me in the Ubuntu forums he got the boot time down to 5 seconds before the XBMC logo came up.
How fast do you think yours will boot up in?

in windows i can work from touching the button to fully in windows in about 50secs right now ...
all works fine in windows at this point but a bit stuttering ...
i dno if it's cause of my old HDD , streaming to my old PC or just windowsresources ....
i like experimenting so i'm gonna install the ubuntu
i downloaded it and extracted the ISO , there is a make bootdisk but doesn't work
it starts of good
always getting missing operating system or invalid disk...
used unetbootin to write to the flashdrive ...
Edit : Connected internal DVDrom to external enclosure via usb ( aka mcgyverstyle )
edit 2 : it hangs when making bootpartition
