this is cool..I wonder how much it cost.
terion
definitely more than 1399/1499 of the acer aspire revo...lol

wonder if can be mounted behind the lcd or not...
Economist
min is 1.5k.........but its bigger? this is 1.5 litres? revo is 1 litre?
WhiteSurfer
after all these years.......not bad. Good try.

but I'd prefer all the connectors to be at d back, it will look tidier that way. just leave the dvd and sd slot in front. biggrin.gif
terion
if it can be mounted behind the lcd like the revo:



then nice la.. cannot see any wires going around....lol
WhiteSurfer
can la Terence....just velcro it biggrin.gif

yup if can be mounted behind mon then soo much better.
terion
velcro cannot tahan la...lol...

actually can be mounted on lcd tv also, the versa mounting point is all the same, plus revo comes together with the mounts too

planned to get one of these nettops for sometime now, to replace my huge monster PC beside my lcd tv...lol

the revo has been my choice so far due to its mounting capability plus it comes with webcam and wireless keyboard + mouse, but this new eeebox seems nice too

use 3m double sidded tape will do lor...IIRC, the first eeebox c/w VESA adaptor to mount behind monitor. i guess it will cost rm1599.there is another similar spec model by asrock, seen it in HK around rm1200.

not exactly.... not easy to configure using 3rd party app to have a full HTPC. easyway out would be windows media center but when u r dealing with tons of decoder, it is reallt pain in the a** to configure which decoder to be used with designated files/codecs....

my HTPC is huge also but i'm happy with it....

i initially thought of using media player way, but in the end after connecting my pc to the lcd tv, found out that a pc is still the best way as it can play virtually any media, just need to download the decoder and player... not to mention any PC game that is not available on console (eg. The Sims 3 lol)

ur HTPC looks more like a super high end home theater system laugh.gif
RyanS
that is the purpose mar... the casing with the remote and LCD kit cost me rm 800 liao 3 years ago, but still cheaper the the Silverstone HTPC cases.
Economist
wah liao...rm800 just for casing n etc...........but ryans is memang audiophile...for me as long as pic n sound come out ok dy hahah.....
RyanS

what kind of soundcard do u use? it can be audiophile la if u installed the audiophile grade soundcard i.e. Audiotrak Prodigy HD2.. just pair it with Acoustic Energy Aego M speaker system, the sound can easily beat those rm3k system..
RyanS
