New MythTV media centers available

Got to be honest with ya. Home theater boxes are a dime-a-dozen any more. Slap some hardware into a desktop enclosure home theater case, throw in a big hard drive, install Windows Media Center and call it day. This box is a bit different. OpenMedia has a mythTV based systems available for purchase. It appears, based on a link on their site, that they use the KnoppMyth release of mythTV. This is a cool and easy type of the Linux system as it animates a lot of the installation and set up of mythTV. These home theater PCs can be upgraded to met your specifications and are currently available for sale; they start at $1500.
