Hi Ian ive been looking at this for a few months now and was quite
excited until i found one in maplins on tottenham court road and i
have to say the build quality was bad , the knobs wobbled and it felt
very plastic (perhaps cos it was). It also doesnt read mp3 from the HD
or do dvd from bios both of which i feel are limitations but it does
get an good review in fact theres a whole forum on it here
http://forums.sudhian.com/index.cfm?FTVAR_SUBCAT=68&nocookies=y&subcatname=SFF%20TECH

-- can i suggest this as a top place for info on SFF pc's --

Im currently waiting for a new breed of shuttle boxes with a via
chipset that has a realtime os in the bios that can web browse and
play dvd's not sure on it music functionality they dont have teh HI-FI
look of the  MSI box (one of teh MEGA's plus's is teh whole design of
it as a living room box with volume control) but im hoping its
functionality is better.

Laters

Matt
