Just wanted to go back and remember the old prototype pics from the boards...anybody else remember those? The original pictures I saw were huge bulky gamecube looking things, I am very impressed with what Team Xecuter is now working with. Excellent choice to go with brushed alluminum, was just talking about doing something similar the other day. One more thing to consider since it is a media center target market is lighting on the front. When I am watching a movie I don't want to be blinded by a flashing hdd or network light, etc. I won't speak for everybody on this but it has been a general complaint amongst me and some of my buddies. Perhaps this could be an option along with what I suggested in my last post to include some form of custom XiR to turn off, dim, or whatever, basically to have control over the front lighting. I don't know...I guess suggestions can come after you release some more detailed information on it, I will stfu now.
