No HDD/SDD necessary:
Foxconn NT-A3500 + 4GB RAM stick + 16GB USB2.0 stick + FLIRC = XBMC set-top box for under $200 *all in* (okay, I'm not counting the cost of the remote, since any old remote you have laying around will work with FLIRC).

2 quick questions for you.

I would guess that you program FLIRC on another PC than plug it into your OpenElec box and it just works. No post config required.

What is the boot time? Does OpenElec ever sleep? (would guess it doesn't)

that is almost identical to what i am going to purchase, i just did some research on the foxconn box, think though i might swing for a 32 gb SSD from Patriot dont know how you got in under 200 though since the cheapest foxconn box i see is 175 and i guess you could get some cheap ram and maybe a 4 gb usb for 25?

I have an Asus EB1501P and Acer revo 3700 so i think this foxconn will be a nice addition for my other room

Went to try Openelec for the first time, thought I'd try the eden build and install it on a spare ide hard drive, but, installer says no drives detected.

Spotted that not all driver's are built into OpenElec, so any thought on how I can get this up and running? System I'm testing with doesn't have any sata, and I have plenty of spare 20~40gig ide drives.

Thanks.

Have you formatted this drive?
OE will not pick it up if it does not have a partition on it.

I did read that message, so checked in windows and yes, there was a FAT32 partition. Deleted it anyway and created a new partition, also FAT32. Formatted and tried again. No Joy. This was a spare 20Gb drive.

So I tried to see if it would install on a drive I'm currently booting on, XP installed on it so I know it's good. Also a IDE drive. But same message.

Finally check was my main system with a SATA drive. This time it listed the 500G hard drive as an option to install too.

I noted on one post at openelec.tv forum, wording to the effect that not all drivers are installed for all chipsets, so openelec may not install to a ide drive.

This was my only hint that it wasn't something I was doing. lol Shocked

I just installed Open ELEC on a backup box of mine and my wireless Microsoft Arc keyboard is not working...Anyone have any ideas?

It works on my live box with XBCM Live.

On another note...This is a very slick and easy install...great job!

Why is it impossible to create a account and login on the OpenElec forum? I'm not getting any response from the server. The page reloads after submitting and that's it.

I've tested it with Chomium and Firefox on Ubuntu 11.10

There is an issue with our mail-server. The problem with our mail-server is that it's shared with others. So it has been blacklisted in several spam filters, which makes our registration confirmation mail disappear. I manually marked your user as confirmed now, so you can log in now. Sorry for the inconvenience.

Thanks newphreak!

I've been happy with openelec build for several months now but its recently stopped being able to generate thumbnails for some reason and its causing my video 'add-ons' to crash and behave strangely. Like my youtube add-on can search for a video but won't display the thumbnail, I can play a selected video but when it ends it kicks me out to the main xbmc menu rather than staying in the add-on. This is happening with other video add-ons too and I also can't generate movie or tv thumbnails in scrappers any more.

I'm assuming its some kind of cache problem but I have no idea. I tried registering on the openelec forums but the site won't respond. Any help appreciated.
