Just ordered this build, minus the SSD as I am going to try to run this over NFS from my NAS to save the money on an SSD, does anyone have any idea how well this works (UI speed/boot times etc)?

Hi! thanks for share this build! You think that can play latest 1080p MKV using AVC 10bits? I know that the 10bits version normally use more resources. thanks!

Sorry if I am blind - does this have Wired Ethernet (LAN) - the amazon link doesn't show the back.
Need something small/cheap for the bedroom. The android boxes make me nervous since I no longer have time for tweaking.

have this exact setup that i got myself before reading this thread. this thing is amazing and does everything/anything i'd want running OpenElec since i wanted a dedicated xbmc box.
for a remote i have a harmony with the hub and you can use it with a bluetooth dongle or wifi/bluetooth card over blueooth or its super easy to use with a Flirc as there is a harmony profile.
if you only want to run xbmc i don't think there is a better setup for the price. so much better than ouya.

Hey, does your 2820 run windows 7/8 or just OpenELEC ? I have a spare WinH8 lying around and the wife wants internet on it.
