I wasn't aware of that one, thanks.

I'm glad it has a "powered e-SATA port", I wasn't aware there was such a thing as an unpowered one :-)

More than I had hoped to spend, but it sure looks like it has everything I want. Wish I could buy it without WiFi or an 
HDD, just hate to buy stuff I don't need.

"Paint similar to a Mercedes Benz" is a little overboard, some writer in marketing was a little too happy that day :-)

BTW - I have a case with a "high gloss piano black" finish, an optical mouse will not work on it.

DTS decoding is certainly a plus.

Thanks again.
