I had some problems with CPU usage, but found I didn't care for the internal shared video memory with streetdeck. Modified the case and installed a standalone 256MB video card (geforce fx 5500) and pretty much all the cpu problems are gone now.

I mentioned to Chris how much better the computer works with the video card, and I think he is now designing a case that can mount one in it. Mine is floating over the motherboard. It's held stationary by the plug.
