Pros: Very small size, very cheap, very quiet. I bought this as a 'test' system to install in my bedroom before getting them for the rest of the TVs in the house. Tested a 720p mkv file in VLC last night and it was perfect, although youtube was not so good fullscreen-probably a hardware acceleration issue with Flash on Linux
Cons: Horrible WIFI. Not a big deal for me, because I have multiple Cat6 drops in every room, but I tested it anyways and I was only getting 500kb/s with connections dropping and reconnecting (WRT350N AP is on far side of house, WPA2 using AES). My MacBook Pro 3 feet away was getting 10mb/s over wifi.
Overall Review: HDMI Audio is not super easy to configure for the layman - but this is not the fault of ZOTAC, linux is a highly configurable beast and exposes more 'stuff' to the user. Instead of fooling around I googled it and found all kinds of things saying to mess with modprobe.d files but I gave up and fooled with it anyways. I figured it out in about 5 minutes - in ubuntu 11.10 if you go into sound settings (go to Hardware and Output tabs) there's more than just 'HDMI Output' - I had 4 additional (n1 n2 n3 n4) options as opposed to just 'HDMI output', just find the correct one in the dropdown and you're done (mine was n2). Will come in handy
