Nick,

I'm curious about these boxes - how well do they handle 720p/1080p
content? Do they run a SMB server to put content on the internal HDD?
This is about the only shortcoming for XBMC, in my book - i'm okay
with using FTP, but I think my partner would prefer a mapped share on
her windows machine.

Regards,

Scott
