Dude that shouldn't count as a HTPC ,look at the size of that rack. He calls it a "media server" but I think that's more of a workstation, he even says it himself its what he uses to transcode HD video files . Show me a living room where that would fit and blend in with the other components. Don't get me wrong its awesome it really is but just not practical for most people.
