To be honest, this thing actually sounds pretty awesome! If it's

This is on my to-buy list as long as it's below $300AUSD.
Reason? Because I actually need something this small to mount to the back of our HDTV.

My last HTPC build was a bit of a fail.. 5KG was just too heavy I think.
Sure the HDTV was strong enough for it, but the monitor I was going to mount it to as a dedicated touch test platform it was just too heavy for.

hey look it's the new playstation!

This sounds awesome, if the price is right I will purchase one of these; could use this for a cheap HTPC.

Wow, looks nice!

The first picture (vertical of the front) is incorrect and is clearly different from the second picture of the back.

 

[abbadon_34]

looks pretty nice, though the C-70 is a little questionable

 

[cookoy]

getting one if price is reasonable. Low power and portable, just what i'm looking for.

not sure why you'd get this over a c-70 netbook unless price is really different. Guessing price will be around $150 plus $75 for disk/memory plus $100 for windows vs $250-300 tops for netbook.

For one thing, it's not very easy to mount a netbook on the back of your VESA TV or monitor.

i've had myself a C-50 fusion netbook for almost 2 years now (not sure how much better this C-70 would be). in spite of the horribly underpowered CPU, it's been a handy little machine and can easily handle blu-ray bitrate 1080p video.
so yes, this nanoPC here would be a great HTPC if all you're planning on using it for is watching movies or typing emails, but don't expect to game with it or have a completely smooth browsing experience.

or use the asus c60m1-i... RAM and a suitable, psu, and case... so ~70 for c60m1-i, 17 for 4GB RAM...

Looks like a nice box for HTPC. I'd consider getting one and adding and external blu-ray drive. Yes most of my media content will be streaming, but I'd like to have the option.
