I now have the MSI J1900 motherboard. Once the bios is set to allow wake (I just enabled all the 'wake from' options) and I added the board's MAC address to the XBMC app, I was able to Wake on Lan. Hope that helps?
I've got mine running Openelec. I also had to use the Chromebox build - mentioned earlier in this thread - to allow my RC6 remote to wake from a S3 suspend state.
Otherwise it does exactly what I want:
- Play full Blu-Ray rips
- bitstream HD-Audio to my AVR
- totally silent! (with a pico-psu & well vented silverstone ML03 case)
I ended up using a cheap(ish) 60gb SSD, rather than a usb stick. Hopefully it will be better for long term durability.
I'm only using a 1GB stick of RAM, which seems fine to me.
As mentioned earlier in this thread, I also had to revert to the VGA connection to see the bios menu. It may just be my combo of AVR+TV that won't display the bios, but worth remembering if anyone intends to use this in a similar setup.
I'm now wondering if the dual-core (J1800) might make a good replacement for my XBMC box upstairs! I'd need another pico psu, but I think they're worth it for totally silent operation :-)
