Nice looking, but 400 euros for a 1.2ghz celeron system, which thus
probably can't do HD? (though it might with xvmc, I guess.)

A diskless frontend capable of doing SD can be had for a great deal less
than that.  People seem to enjoy the MediaMVP (About $80) though it does
not do a full front end as yet.
