Nice find.
This could be a nice alternative to a PS3. Don't get me wrong, it won't be a mini killer. However, it certainly look better then a mini for HTPC considering it can play blu-ray
.
And as always, mac fanboys are funny... can't even admit that this pc is indeed nice for what it's intended for. Lack of OS? As if windows didn't have iTunes/quicktime/whatever player we're using on OSX.
I love mac, I can't wait for my i5 to come. But if I was looking for HTPC solution, this would win vs a mini by far.
Oh and yeah windows 7 is real nice. I will use parallel on my iMac and use the dock for windows7/ubuntu apps, especially for Office (Mac office and iWork both got crappy Excel... Most of my stats macro NEVER work normally and I had to install windows xp just for them to work correctly...).
*On a side note, I must agree that the design is uglier then a Mac Mini, but the all black one would look better with my flat screen then a white box...
