Most helpful customer reviews 48 of 48 people found the following review helpful. Great value, great HTPC By A. Myers I don't normally write reviews, but this little guy blew me away. For $125 more so over the 1600 you'll get dual core, 2GB RAM, Windows 7, wireless keyboard and mouse and the VESA mount (its included). And the dual core will make a difference if you are playing back 1080P source material. Be sure to download the flash beta 10.1 which uses the Ion processor's hardware acceleration or you will be disappointed. Also need the latest NVIDIA drivers. I'm playing movies both through Media Player Classic - Home Cinema and utilizing the PC to run the latest BOXEE beta which while having some bugs really is fun to play with. Boxee will consolidate your media library on your PC or network share (I'm using an UNRAID server, which is fabulous as a media server) along with content from the internet (TV shows, Movies, Apps, You Tube etc..). Thinking about playing with XBMC next (Which Boxee is based on). The HDMI out is working great for both Video and Audio (not all HDMI outs on PC's support audio as I found out the hard way). There is a utility with the NVIDIA graphics to size the desktop to exactly your flat screen dimensions (no need to play with aspect ratio on your TV). While not my use, it would make a great extra PC for the kids or significant other if all they do is surf, with an occasional word document here or there. The PC is really quiet, I simply can not hear it at all and it stays nice and cool. Highly recommended, but I guess you knew that already! 30 of 30 people found the following review helpful. HTPC? - Mission Accomplished for me. By Y. Z. Four months ago, I set out to find a way to link my 50" plasma TV to the Internet. However, my initial attempt of using a 3+ year old Desktop to that end fell well short of my expectations in numerous areas. Round two of my search after dedicated Media players yielded a list of very capable and quite popular devices such as WD TV Live, Asus O!Play, Popcorn Hour with its soon to be released next iteration: Popbox (3/20/2010), and more. For me, a repeating issue with most of the above was the limited number of sites one can go to on the Internet (or 'worse' having to pay subscription), not having a built-in hard-drive and so on. The lure of total flexibilty and open-system approach was irresistible, and a continuing search revealed Acer Revo AR1600 and R3610 which seemed to fit the bill, with reviews to match. At 200 and 320 US dollars respectively, picking the right one turned out to be more than a case of "Good enough vs. Nice to have": Obviously, more power as in the R3610 never hurts when future applications might become more demanding. The R3610 comes with Windows 7 Home Premium which was a wonderful experience for me on an Asus M91MT Tablet that I had for 3 months now, and I prefered that over the solid but dated Windows XP. In the aftermath, the wireless keyboard and mouse turned out to be excellent. The reception for both never misses a keystroke or a mouse click even 15 feet away from the PC, and with NO direct line of sight (the Acer sits mostly hidden in a cabinet). That alons meant a savings of 40+ dollars over buying a separate wireless keyboard/mouse. With 2G RAM in the R3610, you can be comfortable increasing the allocated memory for Video - in the bios - from the default 256Meg to 512. Buying a second 1G RAM for the AR1600 would run you abour 25 Dollars. People do report good picture with the 1G RAM on the AR1600, but the perfect, no-hickup streaming HD I get may be partially helped by the added memory. As it goes, I cannot be totally scientifc here, only report the results. The R3610 comes with an SPDIF out for those who want up to 7.1 Audio to their amplifier etc. R3610 als has a built in wifi which was invaluable to me while I was working away from the router, on initial boot, installations etc. (otherwise it is wired ro rhe router and via hdmi to the
