I swear with all the issues around Playon (videos look like crap) if the Boxee Box doesn't have Netflix and Hulu then I'm going to start building mini PCs like this and running them as Sage clients with external browsers for Netflix and Hulu.  I'm just sick of not having ONE box to do it all at the TV.

XBMC has youtube and hulu add-ons.  Not netflix, though.

 

Roku seems to be the best box for those type of streaming video sites (though I haven't personally used one).

I was thinking about running Win7 on it.  Seems like it's a passable Win7 device, and the codecs native to Win7 work pretty effeciently.

If you are going to use it for other things besides XBMC then I agree that you should run an OS on it (whatever you prefer).

 

I have the Barebone JetWay Mini-Top and run the Openelec version of XBMC (do a google search).  With the newest version everything seems to work (remote and all), except the play pause button on the remote.  Will hopefully be looking into that later this weekend.  The box and even be turns on and off with the remote, it is pretty kick ass and I am really excited to get it all set up the way I want.
