Hello there from Poland!

[bartekszzz]

Hi All!
My name is Bartek, I'm working as an IT Support Technician at Amazon in Poland and I am owner of the XL201 model. I'm happy to join to your community and cooperate with Professionals

I bought my XL201 through local announcement portal olx.pl (similar to Gumtree) for about $50 with upgraded 320GB 2,5 HDD and upgraded GPU to NVIDIA Quadro NVS295 with 2x Displayport. I am actually discovering this piece of engineering, trying to get the best performance. Recently I upgraded HDD with Crucial BX200 SSD and tried to install Ubuntu rather than Windows (to run Kodi or Spotify) but with no luck in operating by Sony remote. But this is story for a separate thread.

Here are pictures of my unit, right from Seller. When I'll be at home, I'll send some more actual pictures.

Welcome to the forum. We have a few polish members including my wife 😀

These are beautiful machines and can relatively cheaply be upgraded to modern HTPC standards.
I hope you enjoy your new machine

Wooow, I didn't even expect to meet here some Polish members! Lucky You to have wife from Poland, greetings to you and her
I really enjoy this machine, it looks so amazing next to amplifier and whole media system.
Today I successfully upgraded BIOS with one from MrBig and awaiting two deliveries - 1st is 4x1GB DDR2 PC800 and 2nd is Intel X3230 CPU, can't wait to unpack and mount everything together.
