Some Assembly Required

 

Used the following hardware: A-DATA 2GB 200-Pin DDR2 SO-DIMM DDR2 800 ... Item #: N82E16820211445 Western Digital Scorpio Blue WD6400BEVT 640GB... Item#: N82E16822136459 Going to use it as a Subversion server.

Tiny footprint ; Low Power ; Fits underneath my router

Hard to open, but if you have any iPod touch disassembly tools then its pretty simple to pry off the top panel, and the instruction on the FoxConn website do not have an accurate description of how to actually dissemble the unit ; Make sure you buy...

Great little box

 

Easy to install memory (Kingston ddr2 800) and drive (samsung 250 gig 7200rpm) ; I installed Ubuntu 10.10 desktop. Worked great. I did not use the wifi. Then I installed Windows 7 professional and it worked great. Again, I did not use wifi ; Set it up...

The little magnetic feet are a waste of time

Small in size!!! easy set up and install. Works as i intended it to. I had no issues with the memory used and hard drive used. (see below for item numbers) As for the install of windows xp Pro service pack 3 i used a USB cd drive and set the bios to...

People before me dont know what they are talking about. The cover is easy to remove! and no problems with mem or HD like others have said before

Awesome system

 

My CPU fan is very quiet, no problems with my RAM or hard drive other than the initial glitch at first startup. As a package this NetBox is so quiet. I have Windows 7 installed and I mounted the NetBox on the HP touchscreen monitor (HP L2105tm) another...

I am really impressed! A really small footprint for all that is on the mini board. This is basically a net book motherboard which was want I was wanting. I had trouble opening the cover, there are 4 screws and then snapping the lid out. I did not have...

It is difficult to get cover off, very lacking on instructions as pointed out for anything from the case cover on. The NetBox still gets 5 eggs as I don't plan regular entry into the case. At least I know the cover won't be coming off by accident

Perfect User Desktop

 

I think the only thing that would make this the best barebone i have ever bought is having 1080 out of the HDMI. It is deffinatly not a deal breaker or even a second thought to me since my TV is only 720 anyway.

This device does everything I could throw at it. I put in a 2GB stick of Gskill DDR2800 and a WD black 250 and was up and running in less then an hour. And by up and running I mean package opened to windows 7 installed and all at a usuable desktop. I...

Chip temp. Sitting at idel the device is around 55-60C. I am going to remove the heatsink and put in artic silver and maybe a copper shim to help with the temps. I am also getting copper heatsinks for the memory as well. Other then that there is...

Great little machine

 

A couple of things: I got this to be an HTPC, and it works great with Windows 7 Home Premium using Windows Media Center. The picture gets a little jumpy when the guide is up, but it recovers as soon as the menu is cleared. Second, I couldn't find any...

Quiet, speedy, cheap, cool... All around, this is a great little machine

As others have said, the case is a little tough to get into and the BIOS settings are limited. Neither of those is a significant problem, but they're worth noting ; Foxconn's website was painfully slow when I went to download the latest drivers. Took...

Ctrl-Alt-F1

 

Replaced a Pentium 4 2.6 Ghz single core running XP. PCMark04 gave that system an overall of 2846 and this got a score of 2678 I have seen online cpu benchmarks giving this a 700 and the P4 2.6 500 in the CPU test PCMark04 is quite old and may not...

Saves space ; Saves power ; Comes with a special made easy to install Linux if you don't have an OS ; EFI folder on CD makes me wonder if this could be used to make a hackintosh

It has some non existant internal laptop monitor setup as default, so... if you turn it on with the monitor unplugged or switched off with a KVM, it will go back to the default monitor and stay there. You can't see the laptop monitor to turn it back,...

to all NON TECHS

 

get the right codecs and players if you want this to run as an htpc. it will run 11+gig 1080p movies with no hiccups. don't be disappointed if your 1080p movies don't run on windows media player out of the box. tweaks and google will do wonders for...

small, VERY small, stuck on in my car, no problems... bought 5 and use them all around the office and house. i can play 1080p movies on it with the right player and codecs.( i use klite mega, probably most other codecs work also.) it is actually...

this really isn't a con, if you are a "real" tech installing the harddrive, memory should take you roughly 5-10 mins. it isn't hard. so please don't call yourself a tech and leave cons for a products that should really have a much better rating. so...

Nice Box

 

If you can't figure out how to install a stick of laptop memory and a 2.5" HDD in this you have no business calling yourself an IT person.

I have 5 of these (Atom 330 versions) in use. One for the conference room for presentations and training. Runs our LOB and netflix movies look great. One in the Copier Showroom on the back of a 26" LCD TV for walk-in customers who need to surf/print...

This box performs nicely if you use it for the right tasks. NOT a gaming device, if you buy it for that-your problem ; Not for processor intensive applications(OCR Large Documents)(Large Graphic file processing)

Netbox

 

Some have complained than they had problems opening the case. It reminded me of working on a laptop. 1. Take the 4 screws out of the top. 2. Insert screwdriver in the hole and gently pry back. 3. Hook a thumb nail under edge and work around the edge....

Compact size and very quiet. Took less than 30 mins and was installing. Installed 2 gigs of GSkill, old 2.5 from external drive, and Windows 7. Runs XBMC, Netflix and streams from Hulu with no problems. Perfect solution for a HTPC

The included manual and pdf downloaded from Foxconn website are a little lacking on information ; But not a problem unless you are a beginner
