Wonder how well it would run Windows Media Center for tv? Would make a great little standalone tv box for and HdHomerun device, as long as a harddrve can be attached through usb. Wow Minix must be doing well, I don't think any of the other chinese boxes have used the Intel chips.

I have this board in a tablet I bought recently. It runs Windows 8.1 without any issues and runs XBMC nicely.
For the price it makes a good alternative to those not bothered about DTS-HD.
I shall be keeping an eye on this. I have found my self many times hovering over the Minix S802H to try out but so far have not clicked buy.
as someone mentioned in the Minix forum could you just install openelec? As it is a Intel CPU and motherboard it should be no different to the NUC N2820 right?

Not being as familiar with various CPU's, would running Android on this be faster than Amlogic S802 or the latest RockChip RK3288?

It isn't included, only Android OS is.

I says Windows 8 is optional so probably not.
