Perfect for what I needed it for by homie23mj on amazon.com Jun 5, 2012
Streams Netflix for the kids to our 24in TV. Works great for what we need it for a little e-mail and other stuff.
 
Used for Media PC by Paul S on tigerdirect.com Sep 6, 2010
I purchased this unit to use as a bedroom media PC for streaming DVDs and music from the workstation, as well as TV from Hulu. The appearance and size of this computer is top notch, although I attached it to the back of the TV with the included mount, ...
 
Great little system for HTPC by Hau on newegg.com May 13, 2010
Foxconn has a barebones version of this, but if you buy 2GB memory, 320g 5400rpm drive, and a copy of windows 7, it comes to about the same price. Overall, it's a good bedroom HTPC, I don't think it'll be a good productivity system.

I can't believe how well it works as an HD-DVR! by Tayl60 on tigerdirect.com May 14, 2010
It was really remarkable. I plugged in my AVerTV HD tuner and my TV via HDMI, wireless keyboard and mouse, and voila! The Windows 7 Media Center did the rest. After finding my channels it was ready to go-- a free tivo. Perfectly smooth HD playback. ...

This will not stream 1080 out of the box. You must update the nvidia drivers and all the codecs. Then pay to download a program called Core Avc . It's is post on a review for another mini PC made by Asus. I tried it out of frustration because nothing ...
 
Don't waste your time! by Chipgr on tigerdirect.com Mar 18, 2010
I bought this to be a simple media server for my large screen TV. Spent almost an entire day trying to get the wifi to work and loading programs and media. The wifi is so weak you need to be within 10 feet of your hub and on the third boot-up the unit ...
