Ha! That reminds me of a C/Net poster who railed against the Personal Jukebox 100 (you know, that portable unit with the hard drive). He said the following:

"Why not use an old Pentium 60?"
I put a Pentium 90 running pcanywhere behind my entertainment center. i amusing the LINE OUT on teh soundcard to run to the AUX input of my receiver. I then use pcAnwyhere to remotely control the WinAmp screen from my den. Since my house is wired via ethernet, I use my server to dole out the music. the whole solution cost me about 200 dollars.

Lemmesee... BECAUSE IT'S PORTABLE, perhaps? :-)

In response, another posted this, tongue firmly planted in cheek:

"Why Why Why??"
For $600 you can put together a 27 gig hard drive 64 mb ram machine running NT 4 with a TV-out card that hooks up to your big screen tv via the SVHS port
