I use three Arctic MC001 with Windows8 and XBMC 13 Alpha2.
It works perfecly.
I use the Aeon Nox 4 skin and stream my Full HD movies from NAS.
When you install the Arctic Box with Windows 8, you must install the Catalyst Driver 12.8. Otherwise you have problems with the HDMi Audio and graphic driver (for example the Catalyst driver 13.3)
The remote driver can be download from other producer. (Acer...) Arctic dosent offer the driver for Windows 8.
When you also use an Arctic Box for the bedroom, i advise an SSD.

I have Arctic with SSD Installed and Openelec (was really bored to mess with Windows)..
100% silent operation...
Aeon Nox runs perfectly streaming from NAS (and my library is quite large)...

Anybody have any luck with Ubuntu or Linux Mint on this? I might grab a spare hdd and try it out just for the occasions I want to have a web browser (march madness). Just set boot priority to my USB (openelec), but can boot to HDD when I want a full featured OS.

Hello,
i try to enable WOL on my Arctic MC001 running OpenElec 3.0 RC5, but i can't get it to work.
I enabled Wake on Lan and disabled EuP in the BIOS - still no success.
I also tried to use " $ ethtool -s eth0 wol g "
After using the parameter Putty says
Supports Wake-on: pumbg
Wake-on: g
If i run Windows 7/8 Wake on Lan is working fine.
Any suggestions?

I set up three Arctic MC001:
The main issue I had was accessing the bios on start up
Box1: F1 went right to setup. (using gateway 10 yr old kb)
Box2: no america megatrends, just went from arctic splash to reinsert or reboot (Logitech LED Backlit KB)
Box3: no america megatrends, just went from arctic splash to reinsert or reboot (Logitech LED Backlit KB)
Not sure what the issue was but I was able eventually make Box1 perform like Box2 and 3, as in not show the F1 for setup on American megatrends screen .Why did I do this? Because I was walking my Dad through the setup over the phone with our ultimate goal to reach bios, and disable EUP, change boot order to removable etc. , set clock . all those fun things.
The Issue: and I am able to duplicate this since we both have the same keyboard (the culprit)
When the box is in that loop where it doesnt show the F1 for setup, you have to press "delete" 1 or 2 or 3 times very quickly right after the arctic splash or just as it ends. It works with a dell keyboard, and a gateway keyboard from 10 years agao.
It does NOT , i repeat it does not register the delete key from the logitech led illuminated keyboard. Model: Manufacturer #: 920-000914
I trialed this 15 times, could not get it to go to bios from splash, switch back to 10 year old gateway keyboard , 5 times in a row, and lenovo mini usb from and older netpc, worked fine too
I guess it has something do with the electronics in the logitech KB, YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED!
Don't do your setup with the logitech led backlit kb, 920-000914
All is fine now, boots from SD card in like 10-12 seconds or less.
