I've got OpenElec working on the Acer C720 Chromebook - which has similar specs (Celeron 2955U, 2GB RAM etc.) It works really nicely, except that you have to press CTRL+L every time you boot to get to the Legacy BIOS. (I believe there may be a way of reflashing to remove this - but I use ChromeOS as well still)
The Chromebox has more USB ports, Displayport and GigE - and it looks like you can add more RAM (the C720 Chromebook RAM is soldered in) - very exciting indeed.

Not sure it is fanless. Think that may have been an erroneous report.

Question, are there any msata to Sata adapters you can use to install a regular 2.5ssd? There seems to be enough room where I could put some double sided tape on the bottom for it to fit inside. I ask because I have an extra 2.5 laying around and rather use that with it instead of buying a new msata drive. If it is possible, any idea on how to power my ssd?
Btw. I'm new! Nice to meet yall

Definitely not fanless.
Mind you my NUC 2820 is barely audible, very very quiet (and per my sig I have custom built a truly silent machine in the past)
Addons I wrote &/or maintain:

Sorry, no help w/out a

Did anyone tested playing 10gb or bigger video file on this box with XBMC? how is the performance? does it get hot? any buffering during play? thanks.
