Average Reviews:
3.9 out of 5 stars

(More customer reviews)Now that I've had the EB1501 integrated into my home theater for a few weeks, I thought I would update my review of it.

I have this connected via HDMI to receiver, surround sound and a 52" HDTV. Due to the limitations of my setup (not the EB1501), I do not use HDMI for sound, so I will not say anything about the box's ability to carry both signals properly.If you use S/PDIF for audio, you are going to appreciate the included adapter (works great).I was going to use Boxee or XBMC, but I don't like the hassle of setting up and integrating Tv tuners into those, so I am using Windows 7's Media Center.

The EB1501 is EVERYTHING I have been looking for in a HTPC.It runs (very) cool and (very) quiet.It's barely noticeable yet attractive enough to not have to hide - which makes it easier to get to the DVD drive, power, ports, etc... The computer is stable and a workhorse for this task.

With the Atom processor, I wouldn't recommend trying to do too much gaming or heavy multitasking.As a component in a home theater, this thing runs circles around the almost useless Media Center Extender I was using before.
