Pretty decent for HTPC

I bought this to replace a desktop sized HTPC. The old system got hot and the flan blew air like jet exhaust. This box was a nice replacement and made the wife happy. This system has enough power to run media center (windows 7) and watch movies in a...

Cheap but not super cheap. Runs windows 7 and media center fine. Uses laptop hard drives and laptop memory. HDMI output works fine with the TV. Very low power consumption. Sit's nicely near the TV without looking like a monstrosity (my wife's term for...

Not as fast as traditional desktop system. Limited to one SATA drive and 4GB memory. The fan is quiet but still noticeable in the living room environment. The unit gets slightly warm but not very hot, at least not yet. I might move the unit to inside...

Great product

In a year or two, I'll be happy to upgrade to another one that's even faster.

This is the second FoxConn Booksize PC that I've owned. I had an older version (http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16856119031) that I've owned for about 3 years and decided to upgrade given the processing power was low. I use it as a...

Could be even cheaper

1 yr review

I just realized today that this box will take at least 8GB of RAM. All documentation I'd looked at when first putting it together noted 4GB max RAM, so I never tried to exceed that amount. Out of boredom (and disappointment with only 4), I experimented...

The foxconn manufacturer's page advertises this product as "noiseless". For this reason, when first purchased, I assumed this device would have no system fan. However, it does, and is noticeable if you've got a sensitive ear. I have mine VESA-mounted...

Great little box, if it didn't die on me

Machine is kind of a pain to load XP on. Have to put SATA interface into a legacy IDE mode to get windows to install. I may have gotten a bad unit (hopefully), but mine had issues turning on for a while. I was able to get it to the point of installing...

Low price, Celeron chip / Intel Video chip great for HD

To load XP, have to put sata in legacy IDE mode. Raid drivers dont work with XP when running setup (not foxconn's fault necessarily). My Machine died within a week

No wireless on Linux

Product is designed as a TV/LCD set back media server. As such it is a failure. This need requires working wireless to avoid ethernet cables down the walls which you won't get with this product without replacing the Centrino-N wireless card with either...

Very nice small form factor pc/server that is great for special projects. Have installed multiple distro's of Linux on this and all devices have been recognized. Dual Core CPU for work where one core just won't keep up

Shortcomings are only one DIMM slot so 4G is your max choice for this box. Broken Intel Centrino-N wireless. Multiple Linux Distro's and multiple Intel Driver updates do not fix. Wireless card is on the back of the motherboard so it cannot be removed...
