I can stream full bluerays with a bitrate of 28000kbps and they play just fine.
Same here. I had zero issues with 1080p. Only issues at all were NetFlix. My guess is that with the silverlight update later this year the NetFlix issue will be resolved.
For my personal uses the Zacate is damn near perfect once the silverlight issues are resolved.
I'm not sure what you are saying. Are you trying to say the Zacate has specific DNS or bandwidth issues regardless of internet connection? That fixed your HD Netflix problem?
I'm on the fence myself, but I will end up getting one for the bedroom when this issue is fixed. More than likely, it seems like it'll have to be a Silverlight update sometime down the road, hopefully sooner than later too.

Does anyone think this thing will handle a Ceton?
Is anyone else having trouble with standby on the Asrock or other brazos boards?
The drives and fans spin up on wake but there's no signal to the TV. Handshake issue perhaps?
Once in a while I can't get it to wake back up without unplugging the power cord and plugging it back in then pressing power. .
Thinking of getting the asus e35 deluxe mb, 4gb of ram, 40gb ssd and an antec isk 300-65.. It should breeze through 1080p movies and be able to stream sports through sopcast as well right?
Looks to me atm to be the best thing out there from a price/performance perspective.
FWIW, this Asrock 350 runs Lego SW (4xAA no less) and Race07 at 720p no problem.
Netflix HD still a problem of course.
Has anyone tried the Silverlight 5 beta?
I bit on that MSI board that was on newegg the other day for $95 after MIR w/ free ship. Added a Lian-Li PC-Q09 and 4gb of ddr3. Can't wait to get this thing set up. planning on replacing the HTPC rig in my sig with it.
I took a brief look, as I have a few OEM cpu HSF's that would fit after some sawing and drilling.
That said, despite the tiny fan on the Asrock, I can't hear it in it's case. I suppose my case's cooling is enough to keep the fan from ramping up.
The easiest and probably cheapest solution if it's still too loud for you would be to remove the stock fan and mount an 80 or 92mm fan over the sinks. The custom NB sinks that come with flexible mounting would probably work but at greater expense.
Yea, I'd love to be able to do a little bit of OC'ing on there to make it perform a little bit better, but that would only really be for the fun of it. Low power consumption is definitely an important part since I'd like to move to an "always on" usage model. Waking up from sleep introduces a bunch of problems I'd like to avoid.I'd pursue better cooling if my bios had overclocking options, which it doesn't. An extra 200Mhz on the cpu and a light GPU overclock would probably be noticeable on this board.
I'm sorry I missed that deal. I paid 116 shipped for the asrock.
The thermalright-built DFI X38 HS is one I have that comes to mind. I also have this Enzotech copper NB cooler .
Can one of you guys try the silverlight beta and netflix HD?
Anyone tried a Zacate board with a Ceton Infini TV4? I'm interested in swapping my i3-530 out for this badboy if it can handle 4 1080p recording streams at once + 1080p playback without issue
Another big benefit would be for a switch to a pico psu as well
I haven't yet -- waiting for my wesena itx7-2's to show up
