Gigabyte's stuff is pretty good from what I've seen.

Anyway, looks like they're really pushing to clear out the old LGA 775 stuff. It's a good deal but it'll be obsolete in less time than usual, maybe in 1-2 years. For that reason alone I'd have doubts about buying it. At least the processor's not bad.

RAM, HDD, and OS not included... Add those in and you're looking at at least $230 if you get Linux, probably $350 if you get Win7.

It's an HTPC. As long as it plays 1080p, you're good for a while yet.

I get windows for free, Just bought 2 1.5TB HDD for $50 and had 8GB DDR2 800 in my box of spare parts.
