I was looking at getting one of these to use as a HTPC, mainly to stream media from my pc with XBMC.
Since the graphics card is onboard and not very powerful, i read that the highest resolution you could run in was 1280×1024, would this work with a 52 inch screen?
I don't really care about hidef, i know it can't do that, but as long as it will play dvd rips without stuttering i'd be happy.
i'd love if someone could comment back regarding the resolution limitations.
no wireless, no DVI, need to add RAM and HD by yourself? why not go eeebox? for one extra core but double power consumption? not a good nettop i guess.
For same money as eeebox, you get twice the memory, 5-6 times the disk capacity, twice the CPU, and it runs on 30 watts. I got mine as a home server and it is on 24*7. It runs Linux (Fedora) with Amahi and streams media to my PS3. Media can also be accessed from the web using OpenVPN.
The video gives very thorough demonstration of building a complete system. The product gives a good high quality impression - obviously designed for people who appreciate a "hands-on" experience.
so everything comes as shown? build the damn thing your self? like a kit. sounds good to me
what OS does it use?

First computer review I've heard that tells you to add the "Basil"

It probably will work, however, you may not be able to put on your native resolution of your tv.
