I've been looking at the ASRock Ion 330BD. Atom based, with blu-ray drive small pc. Thinking about getting this for the lounge. It gets good reviews on HD playback, has HDMI out (and optical audio). Handles 1080. The only setback is that it isn't 100% on flash based (i.e. youtube) HD content, because the flash players aren't (yet?) using GPU hardware. -- lrossouw 'Last.fm' (http://www.last.fm/user/lrossouw) ------------------------------------------------------------------------ lrossouw's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=3416 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=40689 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
