xvid, dvd, mp3s ?
does it have bluetooth so u can use bluetooth mouse keyboard?

squiffy said:Since I already have a HTPC, I think can make a comment about it. Weakest point is videocard, Intel GMA isn't very good for video acceleration, and since you can't upgrade graphics you're stuffed. However apart from that it looks great. Can you use a IR remote with it? Does the MS IR USB dongle work?

It comes with its own little IR remote which is perfect for controlling FrontRow.
and it will save noise from a GPU fan.
