Any idea when the Arctic build will be available? I already have an MC001 and I can't wait!!

is "within a week (*)" good for you?

(*) if nothing goes wrong - dont blame me if its not possible for now unknown reasons

Excellent work, I'm very happy now as I only found out about the specific build about a week ago and that was after my Arctic arrived.

A donation will be forthcoming!!

There is also the Barebone model MC001-N (no memory, no hard drive):
www.arctic.ac/de/p/living/entertainment-center/447/.html?c=2300

This would fit me since my movies are on a NAS anyway. However, the model number of the Barebone is:
DPACO-MC10411-GB
whereas the MC001-XBMC with RAM and HD has the model number
DPACO-MC10112-GB-V1.1

Does anyone know whether the former (Barebone) is "exactly as compatible" and performant with Openelec as the latter (V1.1)?

In other words, will I get exactly the same usage experience also from the Barebone model?

.

I recently bought the MC001-N, just stuck 4GB of RAM and an SSD in it (worked out cheaper per GB than an SD card).

I also stream from a NAS drive, the chipset is exactly the same and it works with hardware acceleration so I don't think there's any difference? It does everything I throw at it and the CPU rarely goes above 10% usage.

I've decided to stop playing around with the settings and wait until I get the specific build.

This seems like a perfect system for an HTPC. I just ordered one as a backup for my mac mini
