poserdonut,
First thing to do when it arrives is make sure it is running the updated BIOS. If not the one fan makes a wierd sort of whirring noise. The BIOS update specifically addresses that issue.

OK, thanks for the information!
Now I need to figure out which remote I should get for the system.

Has anyone by chance found a Canadian vendor for this puppy yet? it looks like a solid solid foundation for an XBMC box, and I'm eager to get my hands on one and play.

Got my machine today and I'm installing minimal version of Ubuntu right now for a XBMCbuntu install.
Will probably get back later with tons of problems

All kinds of places in Canada have them now, the fun part will be to find one that has them in stock.

So, i finally managed to get sound over hdmi.
I have ubuntu 9.04 installed, and xbmc for linux/ubuntu - not the live, installed over that.
I had to set audio output device and passthrough output device to "plug:hmdi", not just "hdmi" like with the live version. The rest was just config the soundcard in ubuntu.

Got the machine up and running xbmc on a minimal install of Ubuntu with 1080p@24hz and sound via spdif.
It seems to be working well, but I don't have a remote yet so can't start using the machine fully yet.
1080p24hz - lajbans - 2009-07-01 23:07
So I got latest nvidia, 185 driver installed on my asrock 330. I can adjust refresh rate it seems like but only 1080p@60hz appears.
rest of the modes start with default: 1080@24hz
Have I done something wrong, can it be some setting in xorg.conf?
The picture sometimes start green or red but fixes after some seconds when I try the default.
But running 1080p at 60hz makes dark scenes a bit pixy...
Thanks in advance.
