Rajahal Posted February 10, 2012 Share Posted February 10, 2012 All in one Zotac ZBOX-ID36BR3D-PLUS Intel Atom D525 CPU 1.8 GHz Dual-Core Next-generation NVIDIA ION w/2GB RAM, 250G HDD Blu-ray All-in-One Mini-PC $300 after MIR Barebones Zotac ZBOX Blu-ray Series ZBOXHD-ID33BR-U Intel NM10 2 x 200Pin SODIMM Next-generation NVIDIA ION graphics Mini / Booksize Barebone System $150 after MIR Makes a great XBMC Live or OpenElec HTPC. Personally, I would go for the barebones and add an SSD as a boot drive. 2 GB of RAM is plenty. Quote Link to comment

eroz Posted February 16, 2012 Share Posted February 16, 2012 The deal is back on. I just picked one up. *edit* What size SSD is adequate? Quote Link to comment
Rajahal Posted February 17, 2012 Author Share Posted February 17, 2012 Pretty much any size will do. My 30 GB SSD has only about 2 GB of used space. Quote Link to comment
bw1 Posted February 17, 2012 Share Posted February 17, 2012 The deal is back on. I just picked one up. *edit* What size SSD is adequate? Adequate for what? I put a 4GB compact flash card in my Zbox and installed XBMC Live on it. Quote Link to comment

But is you use one of the ION builds for linux it will play 1080. http://www.openelec.tv/ Quote Link to comment

Have been unable to get it to do high bitrate 1080p running windows 7 I do not have this device but from everything I've read on the XBMC forums an ION should handle high bitrate 1080p just fine as long as you have DXVA enabled.
