On the brighter side, ya'll got 4x better internet than over here... at a fraction of the cost, too.

Yeah, but for the casual user they're not going to want to upgrade it. I can't see HTPC's being sold commercially and being profitable, only enthusiasts would be enticed. Stick an ARM SOC plus RAM/Flash storage into a TV and send out software upgrades, and most people will be happy. HTPC's are sort of a stopgap between the current situation and the fully connected TV, so early adopters/enthusiasts are trying to get that perfect integration before major companies try to push their own ecosystems. I think HTPC's will become a thing of the past once Internet TV's get enough market penetration.

He's only going to use it for just some browsing/checking e-mail/YouTube and the occassional movie on it... not really Battlefield 3, just saying (which my rig can't even do right now since the GPU's busted.

Damn, $5 cheaper than what I got... but it was just a last minute buy for my friend's cousin who's PI-bound. Oh well. Still $80 cheaper compared to local prices.
I don't think my rig will fit in what's left in my sig.
