RE: Not a glowing report on a HTPC

"I know the original PC cost about =A31000 - but it's been
through numerous
updates in it's 18 month life."

That just about sums it up for me - my experience is that if you build it
using fully compliant (or well tested) components and leave it alone, it
doesn't break. But if you use the HTPC as a desktop, add programs, remove
programs, have applications break, etc.. you will end up with a very
unstable machine.

The key for me is that he's bought a Humax box, but clearly isn't treating
it in the same way - would he consider upgrading the hard drive, or
changin=
g
the firmware, swapping the case, etc...? If so, I bet it would also break.
