Hi forum!

Through work I heard about this little genius

for non-german speakers here are the specs:

Code:

CPU:      Intel® Atom™ D525 (2x 1,8 GHz)
RAM:      4 GB DDR3-RAM
Harddisk: 500 GB
Graphics: Intel® GMA 3150
OS:       None(But Win 7 certified)
Measures (L x W x H) 19 x 13,5 x 2,5 cm
Harddisk-Type:SATA II (300 MB/s)
PSU:      65 W

Do you folks think I should give it a whirl to replace my current XBMC Tower Box that is sort of disrupting the fine ambiente of the room?

Don't worry about a remote I have the PulseEight USB-CEC adapter and as soon as the code for it is merged into trunk I'm save.

I'd plan to run a clean lean and mean Debian testing on the machine with a custom build xinit so I have it automagically start into XBMC. The XBMC release would be $trunk. I feel quite safe most of the time. <br>

Thanks in Advance!

I'd find a mini-pc with Ion graphics instead of Intel graphics:

From a performance point of view I can understand the incentive.
But I doubt I can craft good enough experience with this thing as
I could with an Intel graphics card since I have been dabbling
with the idea of using plymouth during boot this time around.

Any ideas?

Are ION-Cards supported enough that I could use nouveau?

Besides these more technical issues I sort of dislike the formfactor of the lenovo/zotac boxen but thats subjective

Thanks!
