MP3 Player Update

Quick update on the MP3 player project. I spent several hours yesterday looking at cases, embedded systems, and got really, really frustrated. The Home Theater PC (HTPC) is just now starting to catch on, but the manufacturers are charging way too much for a case. Granted, these are some really nice looking cases, but the prices they want for some of them took them right out of the running.

After looking at the pricing for the AllWell STB's thats what I decided on. Today I ordered a Metallic6086N2 and a Maxtor 250G 5400RPM hard drive, not the fastest, but it will run quetly and without a lot of heat. I'll post pictures when the items arrive.
