Just regular idle.... and when you are playing a 1080P video....

maybe some screen shots of it?

Ill post some results in a couple days guys, whilst im at it, ill do some other benchmarks if you wish? any more requests?
Just from a physical observation, the machine gets a little warm (but definitely not hot) under high usage.

now on a side note, some people are commenting on other machines being the better, and more powerful option.
1) Firstly fully configured this machine cost me $400 Aussie dollars ($290 for the barebone), with blueray. in anyones books its good value
2) it certainly does the HTPC role VERY well IMHO (movies and web browsing), whilst keeping other considerations in check like power usage, heat, silence
