Toms Hardware uses Microsoft Media Edition

It would be a great timesaver if the slashdot story could mention up front that the Toms Hardware article ends up building a Microsoft Media (whatever its called) box.

You're not getting old. The conditioning to be a consumer instead of a producer is working on you is all. ;P Whenever I hear someone say "it just works" I usually head the other direction because any system that "just works" is likely to suck away IQ.

What the hell are you talking about? You have no business reading Slashdot if you can't put together a PVR, or a home HDTV system. This is a TECHNOLOGY site. It's for people who can work with TECHNOLOGY. I was under the assumption that most of us here have built and designed electronic equipment from scratch before moving onto PCs...
