I have a faceplate on mine. It works fine, it's just a little mushy and I am worried long term it won't last. I think it's just a bad example but I can't be bothered getting it replaced (ebay dealer etc). I will use it maybe 10 times in the life of the machine probably, and software eject works too of course, so very very minor...

Just an updates on temps - since mowing to Windows, and using Coretemp to measure, at boot it's about 25 degrees and even after long XBMC sessions it's rarely over 40. Peaks at about 43 as far as I can see, but average running in the lower 30s with normal usage. Case is only ever midly warm to touch.
(under OE it gets quite warm, power management is clearly not as good for some reason)
Really pretty great in all.

bossanova808 I been playing with the Suspend (sleep) mode. So my shutdown function is now sleep and it is really amazing how fast it wakes up....
I guess I been old school with pc's since I known it's always good for them to start fresh all the time.
But I guess now once in a while a good shut off will refresh the OS....
It's also so cool that at wake up it scans my library for new stuff as I have it set to do that every time...
I am hooked now to the sleep mode....
No more boot of windows... LOL
Thanx...

Yeah for me I suspend during the day (or my family does) then I power off at night. No dramas, super fast, all good.

do you use a script to restart xbmc after resuming from sleep under windows?
i've experienced some weird jitters in both sd and hd videos after resuming from sleep under windows7 - thats the main reason i switched to linux (and later OE).
If that windows bug was fixed, i would most likely give windows another try.

No. Very occasionally something weird happens and I just reboot but it's maybe 1 in 20 at most. Be easy to restart xbmc though, via event ghost or similar. I use oe with nvidia and win with amd. In the end for me I just care about xbmc and particularly playback. Underlying os is just a detail...

Yeah I reckon shutdown at night, sleep during day is the best combo. Very rare to have to reboot in a day.
