    What is the best place to buy TV episodes digitally?

    Sorry dude, if you want to do stuff legally, you have to deal with DRM and the constant headaches of the DRM either forgetting that you already purchased the content and locking you out or...just dealing with things not working at all. Its amazing how that works, isn't it?

    Has the HTPC time passed

    My HTPC is my XBMC/Emulator/and Steam Gaming workhorse. I don't think the time has passed. I also bought an Amazon FireTV and put it in my parents' room. Its rooted and boots straight into XBMC. I think its great...but I wouldn't use it personally. I like my HTPC.

    Tiny 5.1 receiver?

    If the LED lights are the problem, buy yourself a pack of lightdims (google it). Its 6.98 for a pack of blackout stickers that come in several shapes to match LED sizes. Its totally worth it. I just got my pack in the mail today and went crazy with them.

    ASUS were pretty open about why they didn't use an IPS panel. Consumers think they know more than R&D departments for some reason. Find an IPS panel that is affordable and matches the specs of this monitor.

    Is XBMC for me?

    Its hard for someone to tell you if its for you....you'd obviously have to get a setup and determine that for yourself. The XBMC forums are very helpful and are a good place to start asking questions.

Also, if you built a NAS, you really wouldn't have to drop all that money on those Red NAS drives. You...
