    Of course it's ugly. Of course you could build one your self. Of course it looks like a PC.

    Because that's all it is. This is just one geek who's put together the hardware and software himself, made from old PC bits + a small LCD screen.

    He isn't some big company selling at a profit. in fact he says

    "...testers can purchase the Digital Jukebox from me at cost (+shipping) or I'm happy to help anyone build one themselves. The software is free. See the Hardware page for cost breakdown information."
