I knew I'd seen this before:-

Don't let it clean your kitchen, or you'll have a helluva bill for flood damage ;-p

I have a PPC Mini, and it works very well indeed as a media centre box sitting on the shelf under my LCD TV. The eyeTV DTT plugin gives it full PVR capabilities, I can schedule recordings remotely over the web, and edit out the adverts with a click of the mouse once the recording's done. It runs a bittorrent client, a home webserver, and I can SSH into it to do a little PHP and Ruby development on the side. Why would I want to replace it with a laptop, a beige box PC, or an Apple TV for that matter? It does the jobs I want it to, better than any of the alternatives, and it looks good too.

Yeah, works ok so far (only had it a week). Enclosure's a bit lightweight and plasticky, but looks ok. Bright blue power LED doesn't match the Mini's fainter white LED though :)

Already bought something very similar:

Only problem is that the 750GB Maxtor gets a bit too hot for me to feel happy about stacking the Mini on top of it.
