Mine arrived yesterday- unboxed it today and get an error message which I think means the BIOS is screwed.
"Reboot and select proper boot device".
Anyone else had this issue- I'm guessing not....

Sounds like there is no OS installed or its corrupt.Originally Posted by wensleydale
Not such a bargain after all......
Did you manage to get around this problem ?

Can you play something with a beat ?
Only by sending it back.
Ebuyer were useless and havent got anymore but wont take the keyboard/trakckpad back that I bought at the same time, so it's now surplus to requirements.
I had it more than 2 weeks as I tried to reinstall the OS on the PC (essentially trying to save them the cost of collection) and then when that wouldnt work said I should have sent it back at the start.
Despite a lot of grumbling on the phone they were not moving.
So I bought a tablet instead.
Want to get an Acer Revo instead of the original PC, but am reluctant to send any more cash Ebuyers way and they are by far the cheapest.
Rant over.
Forgot about this thread!!
Got one running sweetly on XP, the video output is superb, and handles HD quality without any issues. I'd imagine it would handle a variety of DJ applications, anything in terms of music playback, and karaoke too. I could tell it wouldn't suit a VDJ just by the specs though.
It was a bit of a pain booting from USB to install Windows though, took me quite a while to figure that one out (for those interested in the technical side of that - it seemed to recognise my USB penstick as a harddrive, and then decided to make that the active partition despite installing Windows to the computer.. I managed to mark the USB drive as inactive, but then Windows wouldn't boot. Got round it by using a command-line parameter to copy installation files to the computer before installing).
I've got one of these nettops. it runs win7 and VDJ7 quite happily!
i havent really tried pushing it or using it for a gig, but i've got it hooked up to a touchscreen monitor, and have played about with it in my computer room for several hours without any issues.
this video was using the touchscreen with a 6 year old laptop (single core 1.8ghz p4m cpu with 1.5gb ram)

if anything, the nettop runs it even better than the laptop.
it'd definitely worth checking out for the price, but as a gig machine, you're probably better off forking out a little bit more and getting the acer revo nettop for £199
