You got a link for that system TM?

In other news, my MINIX Neo X8-H is on the way! Should be here in a week or two (damn shipping from China). I'll update all of you when it comes it and I've had some time to play with it!

This is the one I have.  Looks like it's presently unavailable though...

Minix Neo x8-H arrived today (finally)! It is awesome! Streaming Bluray movies from my Zyxel NSA320 DLNA media server with no buffering via the wireless N (I don't have a dual-bad / AC router yet). I plugged in my Logitech wireless kb/mouse combo and it's zippy as hell!  I'm not fond of the Minix UI so I switched to Nova Launcher and I'm playing around with a few others (GO Launcher, Shell SPB 3D, etc) to find one that looks best. Netflix was a little choppy at first but I believe that was due to a bunch of apps updating in the background because it smoothed out and haven't had any issues since.

I'll report more as I have more time to play with it....

Any update on your Minix, MD?  I'm thinking about getting something along the lines of this, but I want to be sure it will stream 1080p without stuttering like I'm used to with my Ouya and RPi.

It definitely handles the 1080P fine without stuttering. For me I still have issues streaming over the wireless but that's because of my modem (I'm only using N, not AC). With AC or hard-wired ethernet, I don't believe I'd have any problem at all. So far I'm loving it, and more importantly, the wife is satisfied with it and she has no patience for finicky *bleep*!

That's awesome Maddog.  I think you have me sold - I really want to access my NAS from upstairs.  My Windows 7 XBMC has downstairs covered and this looks to be the answer especially since I have a wired ethernet connection for it.  Thanks for the guineapig function!
