Sharp Mebius PC-TX26GS and TX26G AV Center

No, it's not an iMac clone – this new multimedia center to be offered by Sharp in Japan hosts a 26-inch HDTV LCD monitor with 1,366x768 pixel resolution.  Don't let that resolution fool you – it's perfect for HDTV and DVD viewing.  It's also a DVD recorder with a 250GB hard drive, running on an Intel Celeron with 512MB RAM.  Some people here may call this an out-of-the-box HTPC (home theater PC), and they would be correct, but the integration by a trusted manufacturer may be a welcome surprise. Sharp is only making 5000 of these, and they go on sale in Japan in December. One caveat:  We can only assume you can record TV broadcasts to the hard drive.  A couple of us have DVRs with 160GB drives, and those only record about 20 hours of HD
content.  With a 250GB hard drive that will serve both as a DVR and a storage device for the PC portion of this unit, will people run out of space quickly?
