I think if you can stack this, a Playstation 3, an Xbox 360 and a Wii, one on top of the other without falling over, you'll somehow unlock the secrets of the universe.]]>Dec 7th 2009 10:46PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/12/07/boxee-box-coming-q2-2010-d-link-revealed-as-hardware-partner/http://www.engadget.com/2009/12/07/boxee-box-coming-q2-2010-d-link-revealed-as-hardware-partner/it looks like this thing was dropped on its corner during design and they just integrated the crushed side into the final product]]>Dec 7th 2009 11:45PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/12/07/boxee-box-coming-q2-2010-d-link-revealed-as-hardware-partner/http://www.engadget.com/2009/12/07/boxee-box-coming-q2-2010-d-link-revealed-as-hardware-partner/
Still I can't wait to see how it stacks up to other similar players out there.]]>Dec 7th 2009 8:50PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/12/07/boxee-box-coming-q2-2010-d-link-revealed-as-hardware-partner/http://www.engadget.com/2009/12/07/boxee-box-coming-q2-2010-d-link-revealed-as-hardware-partner/
I agree. I mean, where exactly would you sit this thing? ]]>Dec 7th 2009 9:33PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/12/07/boxee-box-coming-q2-2010-d-link-revealed-as-hardware-partner/http://www.engadget.com/2009/12/07/boxee-box-coming-q2-2010-d-link-revealed-as-hardware-partner/
Completely agree. Just put in a simple rectangular box, and make sure the build quality is top notch. If you need to gussy up, round off some of the edges and added a little glossy black. This reminds me more of a gaming console, and I already have one of those... I don't need my tv 'area' being loaded up with these 'stand alone' units.]]>Dec 7th 2009 9:35PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/12/07/boxee-box-coming-q2-2010-d-link-revealed-as-hardware-partner/http://www.engadget.com/2009/12/07/boxee-box-coming-q2-2010-d-link-revealed-as-hardware-partner/Dec 7th 2009 9:54PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/12/07/boxee-box-coming-q2-2010-d-link-revealed-as-hardware-partner/http://www.engadget.com/2009/12/07/boxee-box-coming-q2-2010-d-link-revealed-as-hardware-partner/
My thoughts exactly. Nifty looking sure, but where on earth would this fit? On top of the... hmmm. Underneath the...

At some point someone on the design team must have brought it home and been dumbfounded.]]>Dec 7th 2009 11:43PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/12/07/boxee-box-coming-q2-2010-d-link-revealed-as-hardware-partner/http://www.engadget.com/2009/12/07/boxee-box-coming-q2-2010-d-link-revealed-as-hardware-partner/Dec 8th 2009 9:40AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/12/07/boxee-box-coming-q2-2010-d-link-revealed-as-hardware-partner/http://www.engadget.com/2009/12/07/boxee-box-coming-q2-2010-d-link-revealed-as-hardware-partner/Please don't forget my main point is integrating it in with your other stuff. Most of which will normally stack nicely.

Don't get me wrong I'm not really knocking the design, it's just a tad impractical at any size.]]>Dec 8th 2009 10:04AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/12/07/boxee-box-coming-q2-2010-d-link-revealed-as-hardware-partner/http://www.engadget.com/2009/12/07/boxee-box-coming-q2-2010-d-link-revealed-as-hardware-partner/
I have a VHS/dvd, cable tv bx, and dlink media player all stacked up with a 32" flatscreen standing on top of it. They all share the same shelf space and look nice in a stack.

This won't fit anywhere near my TV.

Seriously, how come all these slick little atom ion computers are coming out, marketed as HTPCs? Whatever happened to making them look like the shuttle m2000, which fits nicely into your entertainment center?]]>Dec 8th 2009 11:12AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/12/07/boxee-box-coming-q2-2010-d-link-revealed-as-hardware-partner/http://www.engadget.com/2009/12/07/boxee-box-coming-q2-2010-d-link-revealed-as-hardware-partner/LOL! I just want to say what you said is my point. I'm guessing you missed the sarcasm in my first line.

Just so you don't have to scroll up I'll quote a line from my first post.
"myself would prefer a simple rectangular unit like most players are now." The English is poor with how I cut it out but the point is made.]]>Dec 8th 2009 12:46PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/12/07/boxee-box-coming-q2-2010-d-link-revealed-as-hardware-partner/http://www.engadget.com/2009/12/07/boxee-box-coming-q2-2010-d-link-revealed-as-hardware-partner/
looks like it would stack fine, so long as its on top.

and with looks like that, i would be more than happy to have that box atop all the rest.

(did all you guys complain about samsung's slim-line bluray player too?)

i wonder if the boxee box is wall-mountable.... that would be awesome.]]>Dec 8th 2009 2:25PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/12/07/boxee-box-coming-q2-2010-d-link-revealed-as-hardware-partner/http://www.engadget.com/2009/12/07/boxee-box-coming-q2-2010-d-link-revealed-as-hardware-partner/Dec 7th 2009 8:50PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/12/07/boxee-box-coming-q2-2010-d-link-revealed-as-hardware-partner/http://www.engadget.com/2009/12/07/boxee-box-coming-q2-2010-d-link-revealed-as-hardware-partner/Dec 7th 2009 9:10PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/12/07/boxee-box-coming-q2-2010-d-link-revealed-as-hardware-partner/http://www.engadget.com/2009/12/07/boxee-box-coming-q2-2010-d-link-revealed-as-hardware-partner/
No, s/he means the GPU. Broadcom's working on a semi-secret GPU that'll do full HD Ion-style. It's expected to be in the next gen AppleTV.]]>Dec 7th 2009 9:19PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/12/07/boxee-box-coming-q2-2010-d-link-revealed-as-hardware-partner/http://www.engadget.com/2009/12/07/boxee-box-coming-q2-2010-d-link-revealed-as-hardware-partner/Dec 7th 2009 9:54PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/12/07/boxee-box-coming-q2-2010-d-link-revealed-as-hardware-partner/http://www.engadget.com/2009/12/07/boxee-box-coming-q2-2010-d-link-revealed-as-hardware-partner/Dec 7th 2009 10:05PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/12/07/boxee-box-coming-q2-2010-d-link-revealed-as-hardware-partner/http://www.engadget.com/2009/12/07/boxee-box-coming-q2-2010-d-link-revealed-as-hardware-partner/

No way would D-Link use some PC-based hardware. They have to make this thing as cheap as they can to profit from it. The Boxee Box is just like all those other multi-format devices we've seen lately, like the WD TV Live, or most Blu Ray players and cable boxes. None of those run on PC hardware, they all use Broadcom chips to do the heavy lifting.]]>Dec 7th 2009 10:43PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/12/07/boxee-box-coming-q2-2010-d-link-revealed-as-hardware-partner/http://www.engadget.com/2009/12/07/boxee-box-coming-q2-2010-d-link-revealed-as-hardware-partner/Dec 7th 2009 11:50PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/12/07/boxee-box-coming-q2-2010-d-link-revealed-as-hardware-partner/http://www.engadget.com/2009/12/07/boxee-box-coming-q2-2010-d-link-revealed-as-hardware-partner/Dec 8th 2009 12:00AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/12/07/boxee-box-coming-q2-2010-d-link-revealed-as-hardware-partner/http://www.engadget.com/2009/12/07/boxee-box-coming-q2-2010-d-link-revealed-as-hardware-partner/
They have a nice suitable GPU that's in ALL OF THEIR OTHER PRODUCTS and Apple decides it needs to go out of their way to get something else to put in to their next generation of AppleTVs. Their old line was nearly an ION already.]]>Dec 8th 2009 10:16AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/12/07/boxee-box-coming-q2-2010-d-link-revealed-as-hardware-partner/http://www.engadget.com/2009/12/07/boxee-box-coming-q2-2010-d-link-revealed-as-hardware-partner/Dec 7th 2009 8:54PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/12/07/boxee-box-coming-q2-2010-d-link-revealed-as-hardware-partner/http://www.engadget.com/2009/12/07/boxee-box-coming-q2-2010-d-link-revealed-as-hardware-partner/

Just saying...it feels like my own path is going to be the HTPC route with Boxee installed on it, if this D-Link device is priced in the same ballpark.]]>Dec 7th 2009 8:57PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/12/07/boxee-box-coming-q2-2010-d-link-revealed-as-hardware-partner/http://www.engadget.com/2009/12/07/boxee-box-coming-q2-2010-d-link-revealed-as-hardware-partner/
