  • Seems like a solid deal. The processor should easily handle 1080p. Put kodi on this and you've got a pretty good htpc.

    Edit: it was $170 on the 27th :(

      It's actually 150USD now. Plus shipping, it gets to 247AUD using Amazon's currency conversion.

      • Nice. Must resist now…

    Thought it was a kitchen scale at first.

  • Looks like a great unit, but a fair few reviews state they just die after a while.
    Tempted to buy this for my dad but it could end up a PITA.

    Probably want to upgrade this to a SSD, as the recent amazon reviews indicate this unit is slow.

    • faster and cheaper than the entry level NUC after factoring in RAM, HDD and OS

  • My 2007 Imac just died, it was my network running bit torrent 24/7 as well as plex network for my chrome cast.

    Would this be good replacement?

  • Yeah very interested in something like this as a torrent / plex server. Anyone know how well this would for a plex server?

    • +1

      I have this processor as my main home server.

      Kodi - flawless, hvec perfect
      Plex - transcodes 1080p easily
      Itunes- serves the whole house
      Bit torrent - of course

      It's waaay better then the rubbish Bay Trail celerons (2820, etc).

      Zotac zbox with this chip is cheaper than this Asus though…

  • Price has gone up :(

    • Yep. $239.95 USD now.

  • Thanks for the information regarding Plex. I really need to upgrade our setup but want something low power that will cope as a Plex server for a couple of years without spending a fortune.
