Bad:
1. Way to noisy (changing fans is a must)
2. Box is overheating it melted my sons chocolate
3. S-Video doesn't work out of the box with XBMC HD install. I was able to compile new drivers and make it work but decided to go for XBMC Live and S-Video doesn't work.
I tried tons of xorg.conf variations, nothing wrks.
Hmm, that doesn't match my (so far limited) experience with this board. I find the fan to be very quiet, surprisingly so. I guess noise is a subjective thing. I sit very far away from the computer (10 or 12 feet). The computer also sits behind a glass panel.
I haven't noticed any heat issues but I haven't been using it for very long.
I'm not using the on-board Intel s-video output but the s-video output from the NVIDIA card instead. That worked perfectly right from the start.
