Found this cheap nettop on ebay and was wondering how well it would work for XBMC. http://cgi.ebay.com/Nettop-Mini-PC-CAR-P...718wt_1139

Even with Linux, would performance suffer. I don't have any HD files currently.

Asus AT5IONT-I in an A+ CUPID-3 + 2TB Seagate LP + 16GB SSD + Ubuntu + Samba + XBMC

Its missing hw decoding so it wont be able to play 1080 and probably 720 too.

CPU: Intel Atom 1.66GHZ Dual Core

VIDEO: INTEL GMA 3150 (supports hardware acceleration )

Memory: 1G

HEAVY XBMC skins wont run well at all,,,,
Probably OpenELEC could be run'ed but, 1080P playnack is out of question,,,
how can he claim hardware acceleration in his nettop...

i would only use this NETTOP for playing 700mb avi movies using OpenELEC with default skin,,,,
