Well considering they'd cost around $500 how many years is that before you break even on that? |

Agreed! The best $200 investment I have ever made. All of my HTPCs run on this - 4 of them. The 4 boiler heat missles called a cable box are gone, and I save $$$ every month in "rental" fees and electric costs (they consume 60 watts idle).
Can't rave enough about SiliconDust. |

That's the "wholesale" no retail market existing prices. Not what they would cost in a competitive market.
You can by a whole computer for that price yet a harddrive and tuner should cost just as much?
At $500 it would take 2 1/2 years to breakeven. |
