This is a cool box, the case looks like they are following the HP box. The sides look like the front of the HP box. I checked there site. They also have a 4 drive unit with a AMD chip.
I hacked MCE2005 onto my HP EX490. But the extender part doesn’t work. I’d love to try my setup on this box since it has HDMI out.
