Indeed it does, the motherboard in it albeit using standard platform has proprietary chips that prevent any mods. I got myself a box for $1 at a closing CompUSA hoping to retool it for something or use the hdd out of it. I had zero luck and there's little to no info on it online. I don't care about the movies on the hdd but it cannot be reused apparently. I know the box runs some flavor of linux but company who makes for mobo for it wouldn't even reply to my email. I ended up gutting most of the stuff inside and retooled the front wires and portion of the original mobo connectors and hooked them up to my via mini itx board and the piece ended up being a media pc. The enclosure faired nicely for that purpose actually, although needed quite a bunch of mods done to it. Too bad they made it so proprietary that it cannot be given a second life as it is.
