God, looks like fun. 40GB doesn't seem like a whole lot for this kind of thing though.

Also note that this is "only" $30 less than new. How tough is it to self-upgrade the HD in this? I'd rather not have to shell out for the bigger one.

#3, not hard from what I hear. For example: http://www.engadget.com/2007/03/23/how-to-upgrade-the-drive-in-your-apple-tv/
As you've heard many times before: Google is your friend.
And #1 is right about Boxee.

$224 from Amazon brand new no tax no shipping. Most people will have to pay tax from Apple. That brings the refurb one up to the same price as the new one!

I really want to hack one of these with Boxee.
But I'm a PC user and haven't even had the chance to test it (Boxee) out yet.
ARGH.

For media center capabilities, what's a better deal: xbox360 @ $160 or one of these for $200?
Wii
Elite360
New iPod
