</div>You are aware that you can buy a brand new Revo for $199? cheaper than a Mini,<br>
and it has a warranty.<br>
<br>
Certainly cheaper than $300 plus $69.<br>
<br>
Having said that, my CrystalHD unit was shipped to me today :-)<br>

The original Intel Mini is a core duo and is powerful enough to be a combined backend and frontend, although the 5400RPM drive is on the slow side. I've read posts from people running Atoms as backends but considering that commflagging 1080i on my dual-core 2.66 Pentium nails the CPU I'm thinking the overall experience would be a bit lacking. </div>
