Second Question, is it possible to replace ChromeOS with a Windows installation? Ideally I would like to install Windows 8 and then XBMC, this would provide the all in one solution I'm looking for.

Everything on ChromeOS works normally in a dual boot setup, including Netflix.

Windows 8 will technically work, but is not without its issues. But really, if you want to run Windows, a NUC or Brix is a better option

when it wakes I do not get any audio and have to reboot.

anyone else with this problem ? is there a solution ?

However I do have another OS (QNX) that I would like to try installing on the box but this OS doesn't support the Lynx Point SATA controller. Is there a way for coreboot to put the SATA controller in legacy (IDE emulation) mode? I've had good luck doing that on other full blown systems and getting QNX to run.

This is my first time working with coreboot and from my googling I can't seem to find anything directly related to the chromebox/lynx point/legacy ata

Thanks again!

I have read people have gotten the audio and GPU drives to work, if the NIC and USB3 works then I'm sold. Will try when I get the ChromeBox, any pointers on how to install?

I saw this in the xbmc.log after my openeelec setup was on and I turned on my Denon (yes I know wrong order):

sorry man, HDMI handshaking is a black art, and I don't even have a HDMI receiver here to test with. I know there are products which connect between device and TV/AVR that help, but not cheap IIRC

if your avr is networked you could do something similar to this: http://wiki.openelec.tv/index.php/Mounting_network_shares#Example_5:_Advanced

Is there a way to boot an OS from a USB hard drive? I'm thinking Windows 8.1.
