Jetway HBJC231C98-525-BB

Overall seemed like a great unit for the price, really nothing to complain about, it did the job well until....

It stopped working around August 2015. I suspect the power supply went. All my devices are on high quality power strips with battery, so I dont think line noise caused early demise. I wanted this as a unit to rely upon for backups for years ahead. I'll...

It's small

I'm using this as a media player running XBMC over linux. It crashes constantly. It's almost impossible to get through an encoded movie at 720p.

I have had this for over a year now and just loaded it Windows 8 and it is still a great HTPC. I use this along with XBMC to stream movies from a file share. I like XBMC due to all the file formats it supports and the iPhone/Android remote apps. I...

I couldn't give it egg's due to some prolems with Netflix. This model Atom/ION GPU don't seem to play nice with Netflix. I think it due no support for hardware acceleration. If you want a HTPC with Netflix you may need to look at a newer Atom/HTPC...

Small and expanable

The 60mm fan inside has very bad reviews so I ordered some silenX replacements. Noone mentioned previously that the fans inside are VERY slim. They look to be about 3/8" thick and standard 60 mm fans will not fit inside here. Also, it is impossible to...

Small and quiet.

Poor and inaccurate construction. Inadequate cooling system. Fans prone to quick failure. Poor manufacturer support during RMA process.

I replaced a multi-purpose home server (email, file, xbmc, etc.) with a few smaller uni-purpose boxes. I run Linux, so I usually have issues with niche hardware. I picked this box specifically because it didn't have integrated wifi (got burned on a...

Like others have mentioned, it runs a little hot and the external power brick looks a little cheaply made. I keep it out in the room rather than packed onto a media center shelf to avoid overheating.

*Easy to setup *Price ($200 @ 3/2011) *Add RAM, HD, and DVD drive = GO!! *Plays 1080p easily (will the right codecs)

*1yr Warranty *Subpar cooling

Ran 1080p video flawlessly after configuring the correct codec packs

Just died from a fried MB when the stock fan stopped.

Small, low power, super quite, easy to configure hardware

Will not boot FreeBSD 8.2 - hangs during kernel probing hardware. Always hung at the same spot. Will not boot FreeBSD 9.0 - got a little further than 8.2, but fails to properly mount root at the last stage in bootup (classic indication of hardware...
