I've toyed with this, too. But PC's are noisy. And when these devices are getting down in the $100 range, it's worth the money to not have to f**k with it. Unless you are looking for something to do, then your idea is fine.
The review states that discount places are selling these for $100. I've searched for the last half hour and I've found nothing close to that price. $99 would be a perfect price point for something like this. I would like to buy 3, but at a $170 I'll buy some cheap compact stereos instead.
