From all I've been reading here about HTPCs it seems like it is rocket science to put one of these together and keep it stable and reliable. However, the turnkey HTPCs offered by RKR look like they might be just the ticket for those of us looking for a one-box solution for DVD, HDTV, PVR, etc.
Yes, I know there expensive, but I'd rather spend an extra 2000 dollars than 2000 hours on a solution. Plus, I get to keep my soul.
I'd like to know what others think about these turn-key solutions? Will they end up requiring lots of fiddling with? I'd just let the dealer set it to the native resoultion of my projector, then use is as though it's not a computer -- just don't fiddle.
Can anyone share experience with their Callisto, or the like?
I see many advantages to this kind of set-up, over buying a myriad of components. But are they ready for the uninitiated, or are we still on "the bleeding edge"?
