shame its got that crappy keyboard

Well, the keyboard can be changed. Its not a bad computer, but it is a shame that it has such a hideous case. Too bad HP doesn't sell the Blackbird's case by itself...

I'm looking to replace my Z555 HP Media Center that literally bust out in flames last night! The OMS CX100 by Okoro Media is a much better deal for around $1700 and it comes with a Cable Card tuner already built in. With a Cable Card tuner, the Velocity Micro PC costs about $500 more at around $2,350. A Media Center PC should not cost more than $1500-$1700, especially given the fact that it will be outdated and you will be likely replacing t in 3-4 years.
