It is about the Foxconn NT-A3500 net box (AMD Fusion E350, HDMI, DVI, HD 6310) It is available in white or black, why the black housing now 20 - is more expensive, the manufacturer or the distributor may know. On the technical details I will not go into here, but probably on my personal impressions. As already indicated in the title, you should be previously about the (limited) benefits clear. In my case, should the computer (Chen) provide my TV with video footage. For this I completed the device with 4GB of RAM and a 60GB SSD. The video stored on a NAS drive. A DVD drive is not required. Access to the network via the WLAN which indeed is already on board for the NT-A3500. (Gigabit LAN is also on board). Controlled the whole via a wireless keyboard Logitech K400, with which I, incidentally, am extremely pleased. As operating system Windows 7 is in use. When you set up you get a little problem with the missing DVD drive. But why there is USB. So you can either use an external DVD LW, or like me, use to install an external hard drive. For instructions there on the net, I have found something matching on [...]. When you first start the external drive was immediately recognized as a boot LW and installs the operating system. Here, however, a conventional keyboard / mouse and monitor (VGA or DVI) should be connected. After the drivers are installed (which has previously also copied from the CD to the external hard drive) and initially connected via cable to the LAN. Then the WLAN configured. The additional configuration is performed to their own taste, as with any other computer as well. In my case, the video playback program, an Internet browser and a couple of tools. That's it. The connection to the TV via HDMI transmits the sound with the same. From now you can easily access its video archive, watch videos from the Internet and surf the Internet. Also suitable for larger downloads (Save-TV), as the power consumption is significantly lower than 20 watts. To assemble Oh, a right bracket to the unit behind the TV (Vesa bracket) is. Conclusion: A great device for exactly this purpose (Video & Web). By SSD almost silently. PS.Ich've just bought a second unit, which then receives a 1 TB HDD and Windows8. I'm very excited.
