i.m.h.o. traditional receiver is too big for a HTPC, mac mini size is good enough. It only need to be as big as a DVD drive. I also think in future, all optical drives will die. People will just download stuff from the internet. The concept of HTPC will be out-of-date then. It will be a HT router, HT HDD (there are already a few hd enclosures that can play videos now) or HT build-in module in TVs.
【在 N****w 的大作中提到】 : 当 HTPC 就需要那样的。。。
