I looked at that one but it didn't have the Gigabit Ethernet which I wanted for running the HdHomerun Prime tuner. The bigger disk capacity was also a deciding factor plus I wanted a Windows machine. So far this box is running fabulous....

i need at least 2.0 ghz dual core for either hdhomerun prime or usb 4 tuners from ceton.

That is only if you need to do software decoding of the HD streams, pretty much any box you pick should be able to do hardware decoding of the Mpeg2 stream (assuming you are in the US/CA).

If live TV is going to be a major part of this boxes uses then you will want to pick something with decent deinterlacing.
