Keith, you're behind the curve on this one. You will note that they are out of stock and as the Atom 330 is already EOL, they likely won't be getting any more. I did buy one a few months back  when they were on sale for ~$150 along with a similar Atom 510 or 525 system by Jetway. It is a pretty nice little box, but the fan is a little noisy. I'll bring them to the next install fest. For my money, I would hold out for an  AMD E-350 [the Atom Smasher(tm)] something on the order of: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16856173020&cm_re=e-350-_-56-173-020-_-Product

This unit seems to be the only set-top type device on the market yet (platform just announced 01/19 IRRC) and is a bit steep for me with partly due to the built in Bluray player.

Greg
