I have one, bought mine from SVP a lot cheaper, it's actually quite a good product, a couple of glitches which are easy to cure. Sometimes the sound goes out of sync but if you pause or rewind a bit it settles down, apart from that no real problem. I put an 80gig drive in mine just to test it, very pleased with mine.

I bought this one, http://linitx.com/viewproduct.php?prodid=11869

has HDMI & 5.1 very happy with it, stuck a 250gb HDD in it have about 30 movies & 12-15 episodes of Torchwood converted from HD to AVI excellent quality. The only slight prob it has is having to reset the 5.1 each time I turn it on, but I am assured there is a firmware update coming out for it.

Looks like they are out of stock at the moment & couldn't find anyone else who sells them either, they may get more in.

you can get them in Oz easy enough not sure why they are a bit harder to come by here, you can get them with LCD screen & wireless too.

this is the company who makes them http://www.midte.com/English/Products/Products.html

I bought an iomega 500gb one, and once I ditched the cheapy remote and added it to my logitech harmony universal remote, it works really well. I had sold my PS3 on ebay and the only thing I missed was the hard drive based media centre. Now this is noiseless and works great...even has codecs for certain movies I couldn't play on my computer.

Pixmania has a sale on. Terrible shop, useless people...but cheap.
