No doubt a real HTPC built by anyone here would be much better but there are some definite Pros when using a STB (turnkey, compact, low power, quiet, no movable parts, etc). At the moment I wouldn't dream of replacing my HTPC with something like this, but I don't want 3-4 HTPCs in my home. Something like this will be fine for the kitchen, guest bedroom, outdoor stereo, etc.
