Curious, are these  Zotac board that much better than the ION in the Acer
Revo 1600?  And can you build it for less than $200?  Just curious, cause
been debating replacing the AppleTV in the bedroom (although the new ripping
16 RF with handbrake is playable on the AppleTV whereas mp4's made with nero
aren't, so I still might not replace now).  And picking up a second Revo
seemed the best/cheapest option, but if the Zotac is better/cheaper would
build my own.
