The quality and ease of installation was pretty good for its price. Just for the sake of heat transfer attaching the motherboard and the cpu directly to the casing would be a better solution, but I'm sure that pre-attaching a aluminium block to the cpu and then mounting those to the case might be safer and easier solution.

I ran on the D54250WYB 4 threads of cpuburnP5 and multiple processes of glxgears (with unlimited framerate) for half an hour or so - the temperature wouldn't rise beyond 61 degrees C. Quite nice indeed, seems that the heat transfer works just fine.

The very light weight hints that there are quite few components inside. That makes me wonder of the quality. Two-prong cord is nice, they can be found everywhere and no need for grounding.

Seems to do everything that it should. Linux Mint 16 installed without problems. I use the unit as a silent XBMC media box. I had to do some tweaking to avoid some Intel quirks:
- get full HDMI color range:
# xrandr --output HDMI1 --set "Broadcast RGB" "Full"
- enable IR receiver:
# modprobe -r nuvoton_cir && \
echo "auto" > /sys/bus/acpi/devices/NTN0530\:00/physical_node/resources && \
modprobe nuvoton-cir

Time will tell about the durability and stability.
