    ION isn't going to be the cat's meow unless boxee/ffmpeg start supporting dxva. Even then, it won't be the ultimate hd player unless they can incorporate an auto-sync for 24p content. Awesome idea for the online features of boxee though, and maybe a great secondary unit to an NMT.

    Speaking of Shuttle PCs, did you see the Shuttle PC with Blu-Ray Drive at http://www.getashuttle.com/index.php...hk=1&Itemid=75 ?

    Now that looks like a cool Boxee machine !

    Well, I tried the new Mac Mini here. Too slow compared to running Boxee on a PC with Windows 7. Took it back to Fry's for a refund.

    Guess I'll have to keep watching for a small footprint PC for the TV room !

    Hmm, the EeeBox B208 sounds interesting. Is the RAM upgradable from 1GB? And does it have an HDMI out for audio and video?

    Yeah, it has HDMI. I assume it can be upgraded to larger RAM sizes.
