That's why I bought the Zalman HD-160. It's the same footprint as the
rest of my components and looks really nice stacked in my rack with my
tuner/receiver, DVD/SA-CD/DVD-A player, turntable and even my
satellite receivers. When I tell people a "regular" computer does my
TV stuff, they look all over for the computer. :)
