I absolutely love mine. So much better than any other media player I
have had in the past. Gets pretty hot through so I might need to do
some hardware hacking to cool the thing a little bit more to keep it
on permanantly.

Forget about the patchstick. Just take the hard drive out, drop sshd
on it and away you go. Warrantys are for the weak -dont tell SWMBO
about my warranty breaking behaivour though ;)

I am posting up how I done it on my website tonight.
