Jetway Mini-Top Booksize Htpc

[Ashman]

Up for sale is my Jetway HBJC600C99352W-BW Mini-Top HTPC.

These are not avilable in Aus. I bought this from Newegg in August last year and had it shipped to Aus through PriceUSA, (cost me $330 delivered).

This is a tiny unit, just slightly wider than a dvd case and about as thick as 2 dvd cases (see pics) .It has a built in Intel Atom D525 processor, integrated Nvidia ION II graphics, gigabit lan, inbuilt 802.11n wifi, HDMI and DVI out, ESATA, 4 x USB ports, integrated remote control,and comes with both mounting stand and VESA mount

I have been using it as my main HTPC since I bought it, it has been running Openelec from a usb stick (no hdd installed) and streaming media over lan from my server, and easily handled all the 1080p content I have thrown at it.

I personally found the cpu fan to be a little loud for my taste (it was not constant but sometimes spun up a little loud for a few seconds before spinning back down.)

As I did not have a HDD installed I made up an acryllic panel (shown in pics) with some ventilation holes and used the HDD mounting holes to affix it instead of the unventilated factory panel. (The factory panel is included along with the acryllic one I made.)

With the new panel, cpu temp dropped by about 5 degrees and the fan is usually silent during video playback.

This unit makes an excellent small form factor, low power, Openelec / XBMC machine. But you could also throw a HDD in it and install Windows if you wanted a small low power desktop unit.

Note: This is a barebones unit. No RAM or HDD is included, you must install your own DDR3 SO-DIMM RAM to get it running, and either a USB stick or 2.5" HDD for the OS (depending on what application you are using it for).
