Thoughts, ideas, anyone tried one with XBMC yet??

This one might be problematic with OpenElec/XBMCbuntu/Linux. Of course, there are a few success stories of Linux + ATI lately, maybe this one will work out. My 15 year experience with Linux and video cards makes me pessimistic though.

Shuttle seems overpriced to me lately. I use ZBOX (not even the new ones, hd11) and it works perfectly for my needs. I can't even hear the fan that's in it. Plus, I install Openelec to an SDHC card so it cuts down on heat, power, and sound.

They've always been over-priced really, but fair to say they also do good work - the problem I have the the zboxes is I have heard some quiet ones, but I have also heard several that sounds like aircraft - there's a lot of variance in their fans (ditto ASRock machines).

I think Windows would probably be the way to go with this one...I was awlays prejudiced against windows in this context but hving tried it with AMD hardware of late (see my sig) - it works very well indeed. OE and AMD is still pretty rough, fair to say.

well any downsides exept the price(for windows use)?

i was hoping for more comments about this baby

hey guys ive got 2x of these babies (one for me and one for a friend)... can i just say... runs like a treat
1080p fanless, completely silent.
I run win 7 32bit, with xbmc

any questions feel free to ask

How do you go with the heavier skins? Nox etc?

The heavier skins lag slightly (useable - but a little jitter). for the most part though, it does the job i wish for it to do. I currently use SLik (i just like the look )
As stated eariler, its completely silient (no fans) in standby i read 4W of power used, and the max i can get it through 1080p is about 25W (with a phyiscal blueray disk)

I only had issues (with both) installing the 2x 2GB of ram, i literally had to install 1 stick, load into windows then update the bios to read the second stick of ram. Its just a note because with the 4GB of RAM in the device there is no display or beeps (motherboard doesnt have speakers)

I must say, ive used multiple machines for a HTPC setup and this by far is the best ive seen/used.
