I hadn't. Isn't that running up towards the $500-600 range though? > Also, HDMI is just DVI + audio, although I'm just figuring this out, so you > may be able to get DVI from anything into HDMI. Didn't know that. What I like about sticking with HDMI is that if one day I get a receiver that can do HDMI switching I can just plug my various HDMI devices into my receiver. And a Mac Mini doesn't have HDMI, but you can get a DVI to HDMI adapter. Nothing's quite perfect. :) > These days, I'm betting that you want something to play xvid and divx and > even wmv... is this an installation where a linux diy'er is available, > so that nifty new software could be updated on a mini-itx system?

Mostly curious if the collective intelligence of this list had other ideas off hand -- things they've been keeping their eye on.
