    Using an Eee box and a usb tuner seems a bit more economical. Looks schnazzy though.

    But if you are putting this on a TV that is not mounted on the wall, you can go much cheaper than this. I bought a $40 VESA mount for a Mac Mini and have that attached to the back of a TV.

    I'm sure that you could make a VESA mount for a Dell Zino and do the same thing, since the Zino is a little more capable as an HTPC. Or maybe someone will make a VESA mount for it so you don't have to.

    You forgot the to add that a Blue-Ray drive is available, and when you think about it that takes almost 170 dollars OFF the price...so that $15,000 dollar one I configured didn't seem so crazy after all

    For the record, the gentleman with the Sharper jersey *cough*, skull tattoo, and jean shorts over pajama bottoms is...amazing. Takes a special man to pull off a look like that.

    Rear projection TV. Nothing of value was lost.

    @Bluecold:Of volcanic temperament but soothed by a custard pie balsam.:

    It's not an ancient CRT-based TV -- it's probably DLP or possibly high-temperature polysilicon, so it does have some residual value.

    I'd bet the owner was not particularly upset; he's probably had an eye on a new LCD flatpanel for Xmas.

    Are these like the richest hicks in the history of the world? Or are they truly just stupid?

    @mexi1010: Haha. I actually read a more complete story on it. Turns out the guy who made a bet owns some medical supply company and just lives in rural LA. He's not a redneck but all his friends are. I live in Texas and can assure that the most ass backwards part of the South is rural Louisiana and Mississippi.

    @NorwoodIsMyHero: The "most ass backwards part of the South IS rural Louisiana and Mississippi"; Texas schools = fail.

    Happy that whole leading-the-US-in-lack-of-health-insurance-and-executions thing is working out for Texas; I think I can speak for the entire state of La when I say how excited we will be for the Saints to host the Cowboys on 19 December. And you better hope that the Cowboys have health insurance.

    @J_0_H_N: Too bad I'm no Cowboys fan, otherwise I'm sure that would have stung. I'd rather live in a state where there are real jobs in industries that matter. I've got health insurance thank you very much.

    Per capita income is $4,000 higher in Texas than LA. Texas may have less insurance but it seems to me thats more by choice than by lack of affordability.
