As the title says whata nice box this et5000 is. I havent had much of a chance to play around with it as work been bummin the life outa me lol but so far from what i have done the box is pretty awsome (and im comparing to duo and solo)
couple of things ive noticed
1) the et5000 is so much quicker for me than the solo and the duo in e2 restarts/gui restarts and even a full reboot
2) the remote response is so much better duo and solo sometimes a pain, whether its the remote or not im not too sure
3) the flashing process of an image via usb i prefer to duo/solo purely because for me as lazy as this is i like the idea of not having to remove the usb just to flash and unplug after reflash, this et5000 i just transfer the folder to the root of usb via ftp and then reboot and only thing i have to do is press the up arrow and thats it, let it flash and reboots by itself too (wo0o0o0oho0o0oo lol) and then when it boots up it doesnt automatically start to load the flash file on the usb, it gives u the option to by going orange on the display and then if you dont chose an options it boots up as normal and away i go, remove the image folder from usb and im good to go lol i know this is lazy but i dont care
4) even though it doesnt have a fan, it runs slightly cooler than solo, but with it being on a glass stand it isnt much of an issue anyway, i was xpecting it to be baking hot lol but it isnt
all in all so far i love this lil box, looks real nice too :p
