R 1600 is still pretty expensive and the last time I bought one was for 209.00. Now the R3610's are 319 or something.
I was looking more for a price in the range of 99 dollars or something.
Surely there must be someone running it on an SBC or a custom set top box.
TIA,
Zulfee

$99 price range = keep saving your pennies, or look for a killer deal on a used Computer

Nothing exists in the $99 dolar range except getting an old Pentium 4 system for like $20 and adding a $50 8400 GS to it.....

What is more crazy is despite the popularity of single core Revos, no ION2 kit will be single core.

near silent, and you'd have to add a usb hub I guess, but a 40GB ATV from ebay ($about 80 and dropping like a rock since new ATV was announced) + $50 crystalHD card does a pretty good job for cheap.
