5.0 out of 5 stars Nice System good price Feb 10 2011
Wonderful little machine installed 2gigs of ram and 500 gig 2.5 laptop hard drive. Then loaded it with Ubuntu 10.10 and XBMC for a media centre PC. Everything worked out of the box except the HDMI audio with required a little playing around to get working in ubuntu. Other then that it perfect

5.0 out of 5 stars Bought it for XBMC, works perfect. (UPDATE: bought one more) Oct 6 2010

I bought this to load XBMC for Linux on.
With it plugged into my network via ethernet, XBMC streams Blu-Ray discs, 1080p, 720p, and 480p with no problems through its HDMI to my Panasonic 42" Plasma TV.
The on-board wireless connects fine to my wireless network, and can stream 480p with no problems what so ever, but some 720p streams will buffer every now an then. This is due to bandwidth and distance from my access point (which is a floor down and 20 feet away) and has nothing to do with the Foxxconn itself, as 720p works great when closer to the access point.
The Linux install was a little rough because Ubuntu 10.04 doesn't have the on-board ethernet drivers included yet, and the "Alternate Install" cd will need to be used to do a minimal install required for XBMC.
The HDMI port works great in Linux and outputs both audio and video with no problems.

The case is a little tricky to open when installing the Harddrive and RAM, but nothing really.

I see that Foxconn is selling a "Foxconn Intel Atom Dual Core D510/Intel NM10/A&V&GbE PC Barebone System NT-510-A-B-A-NA", for cheap, but it won't work for XBMC as it has no ION, and therefore no hardware acceleration.
I hope Foxconn can realize that people buy this kind of device for streaming media, and bring back the ION based Atoms.

Wishes:
Built in MCE compatible infrared receiver. If this thing had a built in IR, it would be perfect.

UPDATE - 10 June 2011
Bought another one recently (ION as well). With "XBMCFreak 10.1 Maverick livecd v2" on a USB, everything worked perfect after the install, the ethernet driver works great with no need for me to configure anything (It was plugged into my ethernet while loading, and updated inline during the install even). With 2GB of RAM, it will do Aeon Nox on XBMC smoothly, and still serve up 1080p video with no issues. The USBs are powered when it's off, so there is hope of getting the USB IR receiver to power it on like the USB keyboard already can.

This review pertains to the device itself.
The user "Manda" had it spot on with their review.

My 2 cents.
The device was purchased to run XBMC. I tried XBMC Live first but getting my remote to work with LIRC proved beyond me. So Windows 7 was installed along with XBMC Dharma RC2 and Eventghost where everything worked fine. It plays 1080p content flawlessly. There is a bit of jerkiness I've experienced while browsing the media with the Transparency! skin but I was not bothered because my concern was the actual playback of content which worked beautifully.

I've read some reviews about the fan being noisy. It wasn't for me. The device is inches from the TV where I sit about 5 feet away from the TV and the sound of the fan was not audible over the sound from the TV from where I sat.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent Media Player Box Dec 2 2010
By Christopher Beaugrand - Published on Amazon.com
I was planning on following in the footsteps of another reviewer here and loading XBMC with Ubuntu. However, I went about it a slightly different way and had problems. Since I wanted a fully functional computer that would also let me browse the web on my TV, I installed the full desktop version of Ubuntu 10.10. No matter what I tried, I couldn't get the audio to work through the HDMI port. I fought with it for about 5 hours before giving up.

I then installed Windows 7 Home Premium. I downloaded the drivers from the NVIDIA website and everything was awesome. I then let Windows install 50 or so updates, and the HDMI was no longer working. I fought with it for a few hours, trying to reinstall the drivers, trying the drivers from the CD that came with the box, all to no avail. I suspected it might be a hardware issue, but I didn't want to give up on it yet.

I did a system restore back to before any updates were installed, and then installed all available updates, and THEN installed the drivers from the NVIDIA website and now everything is happy. I installed XBMC for Windows, and it works like a charm. I can play 720p videos from my home server over gigabit Ethernet with no skipping, tearing, etc.

This is an excellent media station to hook to a TV. The only problem is actually that it is so light and small, that the cables that hook up to it (especially HDMI and Ethernet, which tend to be a bit big and bulky) can pull it out of its cradle. I ended up weighing the cables down behind my TV so that it was more stable.

EDIT: I figured out after a few weeks of use that the HDMI sound issue was actually an interaction between the box and my TV. If the TV was switched to the appropriate HDMI input before the computer was turned on, there was only a 50/50 chance that the sound would work. If I turned the computer on and let it start booting for 30 seconds or so before switching the TV, the sound worked 100% of the time.

Further Edit: I have found that XBMC isn't the be-all-end-all of media players. I found that it did start to skip, tear and de-sync audio when playing HD content. Installing the Divx drivers (only, not the Divx player) and using Windows Media Player gives excellent results. I am also able to use all of the features on my Windows Media Center remote control. I have also found that XBMC doesn't do a good job browsing my large music collection, or my large digital photo collection. I have gone back to using MediaMonkey for audio and Google Picasa for Photos. Both are free (or have a free version), so that's still cool.
