Neat HTPC alternative

[jake51s]

I came across this today. If you already have a PC this is a neat alternative to streaming audio/video or a fully dedicated HTPC. Just add however large of a hard drive that you want! It even sends out 720p/1080i over component and has optical out.

Hey, that's pretty cool! And at $199, not a bad deal! The only other feature I'd like to see on it would be connections for an external HDD solution (via USB 2.0 or FireWire). Granted, 300GB is a decent bit of storage, but being able to hook up a 1TB+ JBOD or RAID would make me fork over the Grant brothers in a hurry.

It would be great if you could connect it to your network so it could play audio and video from the network
