Acer AR1600 unit only (no PSU, cables or manuals) $149, worth it?
#1
So, as the subject says, I ran across this guy at a local Best Buy store. Normally I would not consider it but I have a pile of BB store credit so I would be able to get it pretty much for "nothing".

Is this even worth considering? I've searched around briefly and can't find a replacement power supply available and of course no way of knowing if it even works.

Maybe I can get them down to $100 though. Just want an ION box at this point to play around on with XBMC Live.

I think it would be too much trouble finding a replacement. I would just buy a new one.

Does anyone have the model number of the PSU for the Revo? From what I can see it should be a laptop PSU and I might be able to get one for as little as $20.

If I can get a PSU for $20 and get BB to drop the $100 for the unit I might just pick it up.

From the research I've done the AR1600 should be able to pass non HD audio out over HDMI and should play back even high bitrate 1080P MKV material without any performance issues.

In other words, a perfect throwaway box for XBMC hacking.

Got them down to $125. With my reward zone crap I paid $50, so, done deal! Smile Thanks to everyone who helped.
