I'm sorry, let me get this straight. You are going to spend dozens of hours, pretty much the same amount of money when you are done, and then get an ugly, huge and vastly inferior result than the real thing?
Excuse me.. but.... wah?
An Optoma HD70 is less than $1000. Probably about the same that you are going to spend on this monstrocity. And I guarantee you it will absolutely blow away your results.. not even close.
Not to mention it will come in a nice self contained case and you can sell it a year from now and get some of your costs back when you upgrade to 1080p.
Just insane. Lamp cost is real, but give me a break, if you really watch that much TV you can afford a few hundred every couple years.
To use Rhapsody with your player, you need a Windows PC running with the Rhapsody client installed and running. You then expose Rhapsody as a uPnP channel and can stream to your stereo. Talk about convoluted.
I don't know about you, but I would bet at leats 50% of the Slim users out there use a Slimserver running on Linux (cuz, lets face it, servers should be *nix), and therefore this solution is positively absolutely useless to them.
Like me. Lame!
The Pandora integration is rad in comparision and completely seemless. Really really really a shame Rhapsody integration sucks.
Let the hive mind of Engadget get that for you.

Just asinine.
