I've been trying to find a way to build a cheap Link-box. This item "should" fill the bill perfectly and is more than 100 bucks cheaper than I what I could build from scratch.
I ordered the same Revo one from Newegg in the afternoon of the 4th, standard ground shipping and STILL received it yesterday! Love that Newegg's distribution center is so close. My only regret is that I could have waited till this weekend and went to Fry's and bought it for $20 less. Aw well, I have it now, it would cost too much to send it back for refund.

I'm in the middle of decrapifying it now and then loading up Link. I need to also buy the VESA mount kit and put it on the back on our LCD TV. Should be quite nice once done.

Re: WD HD Live

Just received my FreeAgent Theater+. I opted for one with the 500GB HDD, just so I would have a dedicated drive purely for media. Now I have the fun job of setting it up in the next couple of days. I'll have to opt for the component connects for a bit until I can get a nice HDMI switcher that works via remote so that I can use my Harmony remote.
