Sorry, I guess you guys were talking about cover art. Whatever it was, your artwork for media was an issue at one point with Boxee. I was just getting my little jab back in. smile

Lol, I gotcha smile It is definitely an issue. Not that it doesn't work, just that it reloads it from the web every time, which is extremely slow and annoying. Supposedly the next update fixes that.

That's a very arbitrary number. Eg. How about $195? Not even a Boxee at that price.
I know (fact) that one can assemble an even better system for under $250 now.

(Zotac HD-ID11 + SDcard + 1GB RAM + $10 remote + any number of expanded possibilities).

I don't think it's arbitrary. We're in a thread all about the Boxee Box, so when someone suggest an alternative, why wouldn't I compare to the Box's price?

I'm glad the prices are coming down, though. I wouldn't mind putting together an inexpensive computer for other purposes.

Would you mind providing a link to the remote you'd get for $10?
