It's the Antec Fusion Remote Black, only runs avg. $150.
Then go buy the HD-DVD|Blu-ray drive from LG: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16827136133
Price on that drive fluctuates between 90-100.
Then go get whatever else you feel like putting into it and it's pretty safe to say you'll save a pretty penny.

if I were to build my own HTPC with your suggestions, what audio components do you add for 7.1 surround (HD Audio formats), where do you buy them and what operating system runs on these? I surely hope Windows doesn't run on these. Yuck. ]]>May 23rd 2009 6:41PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/05/23/kinetics-hd-hub-htpc-now-shipping-hd-dvd-still-a-selectable-op/http://www.engadget.com/2009/05/23/kinetics-hd-hub-htpc-now-shipping-hd-dvd-still-a-selectable-op/
Intel E5200
Asus P5N7A-VM (Best 9300 board in australia, but there might be better in other countries.)
4gb Ram
Hauppauge HVR2200
Antec Fusion Remote Black
LG HDDVD/Bluray Combo

On board sound will work fine, though the CPU is base model, it is MORE than enough.]]>May 23rd 2009 8:12PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/05/23/kinetics-hd-hub-htpc-now-shipping-hd-dvd-still-a-selectable-op/http://www.engadget.com/2009/05/23/kinetics-hd-hub-htpc-now-shipping-hd-dvd-still-a-selectable-op/May 23rd 2009 8:12PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/05/23/kinetics-hd-hub-htpc-now-shipping-hd-dvd-still-a-selectable-op/http://www.engadget.com/2009/05/23/kinetics-hd-hub-htpc-now-shipping-hd-dvd-still-a-selectable-op/May 23rd 2009 7:28PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/05/23/kinetics-hd-hub-htpc-now-shipping-hd-dvd-still-a-selectable-op/http://www.engadget.com/2009/05/23/kinetics-hd-hub-htpc-now-shipping-hd-dvd-still-a-selectable-op/May 23rd 2009 7:32PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/05/23/kinetics-hd-hub-htpc-now-shipping-hd-dvd-still-a-selectable-op/http://www.engadget.com/2009/05/23/kinetics-hd-hub-htpc-now-shipping-hd-dvd-still-a-selectable-op/May 23rd 2009 9:24PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/05/23/kinetics-hd-hub-htpc-now-shipping-hd-dvd-still-a-selectable-op/http://www.engadget.com/2009/05/23/kinetics-hd-hub-htpc-now-shipping-hd-dvd-still-a-selectable-op/
