What impressed me the most about the WD device was the price. Pretty nicely featured for 100 bucks. Add an external hard drive I'm assuming but still pretty nice. I could barely buy one single component of a home built HTPC for 100 bucks, much less an entire working system minus some storage.
My PC is already on 7x24 with an overkill 900 watt power supply so I try to make it do as many things as it possibly can in my house without buying another box but if that wasn't the case, I think for $100, I'd be trying one of those units out.
