They are that good, I am considering migrating my desktop to one. And they 
are a perfect size to fit in with my tv unit! TV-OUT plus 2 VGA sockets! 
I'll be using the back two USB sockets for the IR and a wireless LAN 
adapter with the front 2 for a USB camera or keyboard, maybe? At least with 
one of these, you can pop a wintv pvr card in and experience MythTv to the 
full...
