Although did not pay on USB 3.0 and power consumption, but is nevertheless "nice to have".
I have more on the ruckel free play HD material down (like 3D MKVs in 1080p) value.
And that part of it can be used without problems on a 55zoller.
But it was not easily possible!
Until I found out (with help from a colleague) that you have to turn the hardware acceleration of the graphics card, it took several days. In between time I had tried everything possible, both 32 and 64bit installed as XP, Win7, etc.
Also, I had problems to install the operating system from a USB stick.
I did not come purely in the BIOS. So I had to remove the hard drive, and pre-install the operating system in a notebook. Meanwhile, I have learned that to get into the BIOS DEL.
After the completion and the driver installation from the provided CD, I have measured interest sake performance; According to Windows 7 x86 I have an index of 3.5:
Processor 3.5
Memory 4.9
Graphic 4.7
Graphics (games) 5.6
HDD 5.5
The fan is barely audible, even though I have in the vicinity (about 2.5 m distance). The hard disk is also barely audible.
Memory moderately affluent 2GB for Win7, but I'll mind. Even 1GB stuck to an additional slot one has.
I had a small wireless keyboard with int. Mouse left, which I attached and was immediately recognized by the ZBOX.
Problems has only my LG LED TV made at the beginning, because it allegedly did not signal in between; Connection is via HDMI; Sound and picture are output currently on TV; Unfortunately, my amplifier does not opt. Entrance. But, even if it had, would anyway already occupied (by the Blu-ray player). In this respect, I do not care if stereo sound is output from the system or the TV. But I have to change before the; wants to do without digital sound.
Although the included VESA mount makes no sense for larger screens, especially when you already have the TV on the wall anyway, but I will attach directly to the wall (behind the LCD), insofar as it is very good that it is already included.
Overall, I am very satisfied. Price / performance ratio in my opinion are very good; so 5 stars.
Beautiful movie nights I wish you.

Addendum of 10/04/2012:
>>> What size of the monitor / TV has to do with it ??
In fact, this is irrelevant; I wanted rather praise the sharp undistorted and proportional resolution (1920x1080). Unfortunately, this is not always self-evident.
Meanwhile, I can additionally say that I have implemented all desires, and still am completely satisfied.
The part is now running with Win7 x86 and 4GB memory (actually only 3 point something else; 2 new bars à 2GB).
Sound-wise, I have it now solved everything via the HDMI cable (HDMI amplifiers, then the LED TV); no further problems, will play everything.
Last but not least, there I missed a SSD drive, and now it boots faster, and is a total Performant; new values:
Processor 3.5
Memory 5.8
Graphic 4.7
Graphics (games) 5.6
HDD 7.0
