I used it as a HTPC, it does full 1080p x264 encoded blueray rips without issues. It offloads decoding video to the GPU with VPDAU and CPU usage during playback is like 10%.

I used Ubuntu with XBMC, there's a live CD version of it for ION machines that turns it into a HTPC appliance.

Sorry to bring this post back after 3 weeks.

Right now I'm using TVersity as my MC. Been looking at other solutions. I use TVersity because of the !NATIVE! Hulu support. I was looking at the XBMC but couldnt find out if it supports hulu. Since you've used it can you tell me if it does? I used to actually have a dedicated machine for playback of movies over network and such but have since moved to the WDTV Live which I am very happy with. Hulu pretty much negates the need for a DVR. The WDTV live is a very small box. And I like to keep it as uncluttered as possible in the living room.

As of this moment, I don't believe it does. Last I perused the XBMC forums, I saw something about a user-developed plugin..... but that's about it. You'd have to check up on that in detail at the site.

That and native Netflix support are all that XBMC would need to dominate the universe.
