Dont you mean DAAAAM!! (live up to your name for once, man!)??

Oh... and I think I'll be grabbing one of these. I currently have an old lappy doing set top duty; this would make for a nice redeemer.]]>Dec 11th 2009 7:26PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/12/04/asus-eee-box-eb1501-gets-unboxed/http://www.engadget.com/2009/12/04/asus-eee-box-eb1501-gets-unboxed/
Are we seeing another example of the "beige" mentality?]]>Dec 4th 2009 3:44AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/12/04/asus-eee-box-eb1501-gets-unboxed/http://www.engadget.com/2009/12/04/asus-eee-box-eb1501-gets-unboxed/
They don't want to make it available. They don't want people buying or liking these.

Pretty much everything with an ion in it plays nicely with xbmc. Just be sure to run it on a linux distro (there is also a windows version of xbmc, but I believe that it does not take advantage of the gpu for).

Either way, I'm holding out to see what the ion 2 has to offer before I buy a new media streamer box. Prices should drop on ion 1 after the ion 2 is announced.]]>Dec 4th 2009 10:01AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/12/04/asus-eee-box-eb1501-gets-unboxed/http://www.engadget.com/2009/12/04/asus-eee-box-eb1501-gets-unboxed/I don't know why you're moaning about the lack of BlueRay, who's even using that?

I still prefer the Dell Zino for its faster available processor, similar to ION video performance w/ DTS out, 8GB of RAM for a mere $130, desktop harddrive (so I can put in a 2TB), and BluRay. Was up on slickdeals for cheap recently. ]]>Dec 4th 2009 5:56AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/12/04/asus-eee-box-eb1501-gets-unboxed/http://www.engadget.com/2009/12/04/asus-eee-box-eb1501-gets-unboxed/
What is the noise level like on the Zino? I can't stand fan noise when watching films.]]>Dec 4th 2009 6:09AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/12/04/asus-eee-box-eb1501-gets-unboxed/http://www.engadget.com/2009/12/04/asus-eee-box-eb1501-gets-unboxed/

The single core Revo is nearly half the cost of the ASrock 330 despite having an OS already on it.

The OS will get blown away either way so it's not a big deal either way... ]]>Dec 4th 2009 9:31AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/12/04/asus-eee-box-eb1501-gets-unboxed/http://www.engadget.com/2009/12/04/asus-eee-box-eb1501-gets-unboxed/Dec 4th 2009 9:29AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/12/04/asus-eee-box-eb1501-gets-unboxed/http://www.engadget.com/2009/12/04/asus-eee-box-eb1501-gets-unboxed/Dec 4th 2009 9:40AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/12/04/asus-eee-box-eb1501-gets-unboxed/http://www.engadget.com/2009/12/04/asus-eee-box-eb1501-gets-unboxed/
Though with all the talk about the Pine*** netbooks releasing on Jan. 10/11th, I wonder how long till we will see some new nettops.]]>Dec 4th 2009 9:54AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/12/04/asus-eee-box-eb1501-gets-unboxed/http://www.engadget.com/2009/12/04/asus-eee-box-eb1501-gets-unboxed/I see where you are going with that, but if you want DVR like functions from a TV tuner, then you are also going to want a huge capacity hard drive in there, which limits you the 3.5 inch drives, and I'm pretty sure that case can't handle it. Unless you go with external storage, at which point, why bother with this tiny underpowered machine. Also, if you plan to do any on-the-fly compression on the DVR (analog cable), then this CPU won't help you. If you only want to get digital channels, then you don't need the CPU, since the streams are already encoded, but you are limitted to OTA or clear QAM, which a pretty small set of channels. But if that is what you want, pair this guy with an HD HomeRun tuner, and you are set.]]>Dec 4th 2009 10:43AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/12/04/asus-eee-box-eb1501-gets-unboxed/http://www.engadget.com/2009/12/04/asus-eee-box-eb1501-gets-unboxed/

This is the perfect media companion for when I move out into an apartment with the GF.
