Until 10/17, these Q-series machines are around $100 off with the HOMEDEALS coupon.
Even though it's amazing that my ATV2 can run XBMC, I'm becoming more and more frustrated with its performance. Especially since I just upgraded to a 1080 3D TV.
The specs of the Q180 are:
Atom Processor D2550 / D2700
Radeon HD 7450A / 6450A
4 GB RAM
500 GB HD

The D2700 processor with the 6450A is from the next model up for an additional $50.
Is machine a good candidate for OpenELEC? I'd really like an appliance feel. Are the processor and video card upgrades worth the extra money?
Thanks, everyone.
