<div>Not sure if it has an IDE connection, but it definately has USB, so you could conceivably hook up an external drive.</div>

<div>At $0.99 it's a pretty cheap. Specs look similar to an XBOX, so you would think it would be able to run a full frontend. It has more memory than the XBOX too. Any thoughts?</div></span></div><span>
