I'm ready to join the HTPC (home theater pc) revolution - what to get?

Either the picture is misleading, the specs are lying, or it will burn up on arrival LOL :) There's a reason for the specs on the CPU.

I'm curious enough to give it a try. So small, so cheap, and great specs. it *may* die quickly, which is the only bad experience i've had with this kind of stuff. but i've also been very impressed by some of my alibaba experiments too. A few years ago I got a tiny little credit card size media player kind of like an htpc, and it was great. still works and can play just about anything under 720p.

Superboyac - if you do buy this, please let us know how you get on with it.

What do you guys think about these alibaba products that have enromous specs and cheap prices? Take this one for example:
8GB RAM
intel i3
fanless/silent
~$300 (see attachment in previous post)

Why not go for an Intel NUC from Newegg?
Comparable prices and a lot closer to home if you find a problem with it.

well, it just seems like you get more bang for the buck with the alibaba options. the NUC seem to be ok...but the alibaba items sure seem to pack a lot of power in a small, fanless unit for pretty cheap. I'm actually a little curious how they are. but ultimately, i'm having a hard time comparing the specs and prices of these things. the cpus are so confusing.
