Yip, received this box Friday.

I installed a 2.5 SATA drive, it works perfectly. Tried external USB, equally great. The seek times are great, starting previews is a dream, user interface is great - a bit dated compared to the XBox, but there is promised skins.

One thing - get the latest firmware, it is so worth it. The update includes BluRay ISO support. It plays like a dream on a LCD TV.

This little box played every file I could throw at it.

I've read up quite a bit on this box. Don't bother with the wireless adapter, it can do DivX and such, but forget about MKV and DVD/BR ISO's. The fault is not here with the box, it is hindered by the wireless bandwidth. If you want wireless, plug the bog into a proper wireless router with a cable, from there connect to your PC.

The other nice thing is that the box is complete. There is nothing else needed. Even an HDMI cable is included. And it handles progressive and interlaced.

Come. Click on "Add to cart" - you know you want it. Just remember that you would want a 2.5 drive as well.

This is the second media player I buy in this year. Partly because the other one is a useless white elephant. This toy is in a completely different class. I have used it to watch some music video's (heavy classical stuff!) and a few movies I ripped. I also tested an MP4 ripped on a mac by a friend. By the way these movies are legal, I have bought every single one of them at TOP CD, Kalahari & Take2! It play's my MP4's, H.264's, DIVXes etc. Lately I only encode using MP4 and will ultimately backup/rip all my movies to this format. This thing rocks!
