Thanks for the 360 suggestion - I'll probably have to look into that a bit more seriously sometime.

And I'm not just saying that as a Mac fanboy, but as a tech nerd. But - I don't really use it for a media center myself as I have a Mac mini hooked up to our TV. It's certainly nice to have a full fledged computer to do all the dl'ing of tv shows/etc. directly rather than having to worry about syncing/etc. But I do know a former coworker of mine (http://www.bloglos.com) who uses a 360 synced to his PC for viewing media files/etc. and loves it.
