  Considering that it comes with Windows 7 Home Premium, not too shabby for an office/basic multi media build. Hot!

  Looks like a good price.. Camelcamelcamel (amazon price reviewer) shows this as te lowest price it has every been
  Considering the price to actually have 4gb ram, 500gb hard drive and win 7 home premium these days.. (can get alternative models for cheaper such as zotac, but don look as good, feel more flimsy) so have some heat.
  
  I've used many brands before and different levels of processors..
  
  Would this be ideal as a bedroom multimedia device, and would the atom be suitable for xbmc/watching movies that are saved to the hdd?? (movies being the primary use) rather than buying a ps3 to do this??

  A mix of hot and cold... Decent price for the entry level model but For £38 less, would the Acer revo rl70 be a better option? It's smaller and more compact.. Only difference between the 2 are:
  Revo has 1.65ghz, and Linux instead
  But reduced from £249.99 to £211.99 at ebuyer..

  On the other hand, seems to struggle/stutter with HD content http://www.digitaltrends.com/desktop-computer-reviews/lenovo-ideacentre-q180-review/ but otherwise good as nettops go.

  I've got one of these and it plays 1080p stuff fine using XBMC. There are a few issues with them, but once ironed out, it's great.

  Cold
  I wouldn't recommend.. I have had one of these for around 3 months..
  Came with a wired keyboard and mouse so by the time u buy a wired one, it's an extra £20-£30.. Also, struggles to play my hd vid files via windows media centre or xbmc, but my worst experience though was the temperatures, in idle use still too hot due to the little fan.
  I returned this and for £50 more, I brought the acer revo RL70.. More or less the same, but came with a wireless keyboard mouse, and a blu ray drive and has been working fine since..

  "Recoup: To receive an equivalent for; make up for: recoup a loss."
  
  Recution - A reduction in price that saves you the loss you'd need to recoup if you'd paid the original price?

  Only a saving of £10, amazon has now put the RRP from £300 to £259.00 so not a massive saving
  
  Based on only saving £10, the machine is good but better value for money would be the Zotac htpc and Acer Revo/aspire... If you really want a htpc for entertainment needs.. I have the Asrock, cost £599 on amazon but is a lot more more powerfull with 8gb and i5 proc.

  Wow this looks nice compared to other small factor pcs or htpc
  I really want to order one, based on user comments, would anyone recommend this as a good buy for home entertainment/media or recomend something else.
  
  I only want it for movies/media, I already have a high end i7 laptop for everything else, which is why I want something cheap and cheerful :P
