Foxconn nT-i2847

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...

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...

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...
