Setup:

APEX MI-100 Black / Silver Steel Mini-ITX Tower Computer Case 250W
Intel BOXD945GCLF2 Atom 330 Intel 945GC Mini ITX Motherboard/CPU Combo
Kingston 2GB 240-Pin DDR2 SDRAM DDR2 667 (PC2 5300)
ATI REMOTE WONDER USB (This works better with latest revision without LIRC)
WD GREEN EADS 1TB 7200RPM
LG DVD BURNER
Ubuntu 9.10 32bit ( XBMC SVN with Confluence ) / Windows XP SP 3

Known Issues:-
- Chipset fan is a bit noisy
- Case can get hot .. Recommend mounting 120MM case fan where the harddrive .. It is perfect fit .. Will get temperature 10 - 15C lower ..

First I would like thank XBMC for the wonderfull work they have done ..

I have been able to run XBMC without any major problems. I have tested 720P avi files and they played perfectly with it. 1080P had some minor audio and video sync issues. Hulu HD content played perfectly using Hulu Plugin.

Best thing of all it consumes less than 50W and it costs $150US to be put together ( excluding optical drive, harddrive, remote ) .. Big Grin

I would be more than happy to test other things on it .. Wink

Update:

Looks like we can now now play 1080P content without any frame drops using VDPAU API and G98 PCI Addon Card ( Heat Sink is pretty big so might not fit in all itx case .. PNY might be better )
