...and ugly too...
The Aopen minipc that you linked to, Gamester17, is still on top on my wishlist, with minimac on second place...

I've had one for a couple of months now and think its fantastic. Only just started to try and put XBMC on it over the last few days and haven't been too successfull in getting it to compile in the default Xandros OS - I get an error as __static_chk_fail or something like that doesn't exist?
I think my next task is to get Ubuntu running on it and take it from there.

The eeepc has GMA 900 graphics; can that run XBMC? If so, I don't see any reason why it wouldn't work. Only problem is that the 630Mhz celeron CPU is actually slower than an xbox1.

The original XBOX had a 733mhz PIII, while the clock is faster it's possibly not as fast overall.

From what I can find from quick googling, it's 630Mhz with a stock underclocked 70Mhz bus. You can safely overclock the bus to 100Mhz and get it to run at 900Mhz though.
The celeron M is based on the pentium-M technology, so it'll be around 10% slower Mhz-for-Mhz than a core duo or 20% slower than a core2duo. It's roughly comparable to a pentium-3 at the same speed, I'd guess. Either way, not enough to handle HD.

Is OpenGL 2.0 no longer a requirement? I know that there had been changes to get GMA950 working in the OS-X version, but I had figured that those were just individual hacks...
