Hi All,
I've currently got a HTPC sat under my TV - It's running an Intel E5200 at stock, 4GB RAM on a Gigabyte GA-73PVM-S2H and using the onboard HDMI out.
It's running Windows 7 x64 on a small SSD and it's used mainly for DVD / Bluray playback from the SATA bluray combo drive, Iplayer, Youtube, and some web browsing etc etc.
Now I'm looking to downsize as it's in an Antec Fusion case and the Acer Revo caught my eye. It's tiny and would happily screw to the back of the TV in the wall bracket holes.....but is it really up to the job of Bluray playback?
I've heard the ION chips are supposed to be pretty good, but I'd like to heard from anyone that owns one, or something similar, to get their opinion.
Thanks
Pete
