      i was considering this since atv3 hasn't been jailbroken yet for xbmc, but didn't realize that you still need to buy ram and hard drive. one person's review stated that the additional cost of those pieces bring it close up to a mac mini, which i would gladly pay extra for and get a better product (after boot camping it to win7, of course)...oh well...gonna keep looking or wait for atv3 jb

      You can get a dual core Android-based TVPC a lot cheaper and with similar features. There was a single core one here for less than $40. The reviews made it sound like it was actually useful for some things but couldn't handle 1080P very well. I have it on order. If it seems cool but I get tired of the limitations, I'll upgrade. It's cheap enough to give it away.
