Wanna know something obscene - MS wants $120 for that lap keyboard! eff that man. My HP media center with hotkeys board works just fine.

Looks like a nice little setup. A bit pricey for my tastes, though. I wouldn't expect to be playing recent games (DOOM 3?) on one of these - they're for multimedia jukebox centers, watching videos and recorded TV in the living room, etc.

Heh, could you get this, wipe it clean and install Knoppmyth on it instead?

@davezatz

What part of "There's the outputs: DVI, component" did you miss?

I'd say it's a fair bet there's HD capability.

How can you have a "perfect home-theater PC" without HD?
