Too expensive and impractical!

By PK (newegg.com)

$349.99 is too expensive for this useless machine. At this price, we can build an entire HTPC that can do everything that this machine can do and beyond for much less.

Can retrieve files away from home

No HDMI port, no digital audio port; can't play MKV, M2TS, or DVD ISO

Linksys Shilling like crazy

Quiet. Non-horrible interface

Why bother with a media hub that doesn't play dvd iso's wmv's or Matroska????(MKV) Why not have a video out, and dispense with needing an xbox or PS3? (meaning total price is not $349, it's $600-$700 + cables and network knowledge)

Just want to clarify a few things

By PK (newegg.com)

An average HTPC nowadays can play blu-ray movies/H264 encoded files, record TV shows, and also serves files for the entire home network. If you want media streaming, just add TVersity or something. Seriously, you can easily turn your HTPC to do everything...

none

Only 2 SATA interface. Pretty soon, a few terabytes of storage won't be enough for anything
