Re: [H] Free new years gift for HWG!/Aspire Revo
Thanks, Z. I wanted to know what I missed. Steve Incidentally, if you are looking for an Aspire Revo and don't want to wait (like I didn't), Best Buy has them, only they don't know what they've got. The price here was $199.99. I just went in to see if I could find a netbook or other with an Nvidia Ion Chipset. The 'Geek Squad' guy was clueless. He said they don't carry Aspire Revo's and there was one sitting right next to the register. Steve Zulfiqar Naushad wrote: From their main page click downloads the.

But you shouldn't have to deal with that - you install XBMC Live, which boots linux and into XBMC directly. Then you can just use the remote.
