Hi,
After moving to a new rented unit I found that it's going to be
a bit (or very) tricky to get my aging desktop (which I mainly
use for Bittorent and "storage server" these days) connected to
the ADSL modem using wired Ethernet.
Instead, I though that I might get myself some media-centre
computer - it'll be either so small that I can still keep it
close to the modem/router/wifi point or it'll suport wifi so I
can put it somewhere else in the unit. It'll also hopefully be
power efficient so I could afford to keep it turned on 24x7
(both for economic and environmental concerns).
But I don't feel like running around designing my own
hardware, order it then build it myself, so I searched a bit
for "linux media center hardware" and the top results all
point to http://cubox-i.com/,
which after reading a couple of reviews turned out to be based
in Israel.
I'm considering getting myself the CuBox-i4Pro, and perhaps
do it while I visit Israel next Passovah (not sure yet).
Everything I read about this unit so far is just 100%
positive. Does anyone here have experience with it, the
service? hardware quality? Cost of shipping in Israel? Is
pick-up from their offices an option etc?
Cheers,
--Amos

Their product seems solid.
Have you considered Apple TV? It's only 109 AUD down under :)
Currently works for ios 6.1.
rPi?
I have 2 jb atv almost 2 years now, currently running xbmc v12.3
without a hiccup.
Software selection is a bit scant
I'll use rPI as servers for other apps.
