Loooks nice! Would be the first ION Solution with passive cooling and dual core. hmmm... And they only report 50C operating temperature. Too good to be true. Just a shame they only have blueray and no dvd option. Blueray with mandatory win7 license pushes the price over 600$. Hope there is a way to build in dvd manually. I look forward to a user experience report.

In the link below it says the base model is $379 and it gives a the cost of the Bluray add on at $225.

I mean even after reading these I'm quite suspicious going for an order. No support on forums. No live pictures or review on e.g Youtube or more HW famous review sites.

Seems like a Zotac board inside a fairly crappy looking case to me.
Much better to buy the parts from newegg and build it yourself.

These are not Atom+ION boxes, these are Popcornhour clones, XBMC will never work on those.

Indeed. What I meant is that even this company released a popcorn hour clone 6 months ago, you hardly find evidence it exists. ION version might be another mistery...
