For the past 3 years I've been using my gaming rig (in my sig below) as an HTPC. It works great, but the machine is not cheap to leave on 24/7 for downloading/seeding Linux distros.
I've been looking into building a cheap, low power HTPC that would handle playing HD video, Bittorrent seeding/downloading, and filesharing with my other Windows PCs. The Raspberry Pi may or may not be good for this, but its not going to be easy to come by for quite a while so I might as well look into other options in the meantime.
Does anyone else use anything similar to the Raspberry Pi as a HTPC system? I'll consider anything at or below the $150 mark.
