Has any one got one of these? Im interested as it could mean basically putting a low power PC in to the living room and replacing the DVD player with an external slim USB drive and an external 2.5" HDD to view things using a physical medium.

The cheapest (2.3) devices I have found are here:

and

The cheapest on aliexpress is $77.15 delivered and the next cheapest is $100 delivered. The more expensive one seems to have a better CPU and I don't really trust the "3D" sign as another more expensive shop has the specs having the GPU supporting OpenGL 2D/3D which is quite ****ty really for a true 3D view.

3D is not really that important at the moment for me (perhaps in five years though!)

Interestingly enough, the second more expensive item lacks an HDMI port, so Im wondering about the actual quality from said items

I was just wondering if any of you guys have such products or similar things that you can go on youtube/iplayer etc... without any buffering/slowdown

Update: The specs on the 1.2GHz model say that the item has an HDMI connector, so it may possibly have an HDMI port despite the fact that the picture showing it doesnt. Oh and it's version 1.3 which also fuels my suspicions that the 3D on this model will be **** (ie: non existent)

I'd appreciate any advice from any one who has such a device

It seems the more expensive one actually works! (Hopefully)
