Agreed, they are great, especially for a second set, bedroom set etc. For the
living room I prefer a more "full-featured" frontend, but that's me.
You also get a working remote, and, as you say, for less than you would spend
for just the RAM in a conventional frontend.
I'm waiting for something similar to come along that will do HD, either by
design or a jeeped device designed for something else. I guess the Mac Mini
or possible the Apple TV are the closest so far, but they are still pricey.
