I know you guys all have a hard on for the Popcorn Hour but what do you think about the Xtreamer?

It's 99€ ~ $142 USD
The list of supported interfaces and features is pretty impressive. In my eyes the best option for this kind of stuff is still a custom built HTPC but the price is right on this thing.
Thread Truncated. Click to see all 36 replies.
As I see it, here are the options:
Plex + Mac Mini - $599, gorgeous, runs everything
Popcorn Hour C-200 - $299, not out yet, may be buggy, interface not as nice, will probably play most things, able to add Blu-ray drive
Popcorn Hour A-110 - $215, underpowered, same mediocre interface, good compatibility
Boxee + Apple TV - $229, underpowered, good interface, hulu and mlb.tv
HTPC - $400 to build a decent small HTPC that isn't too loud. $250 at the cheap but loud end. Need to add IR and dick around with OS's to get everything working.
XBMC/Linux + Acer Revo or other ION based HTPC - $270? Runs everything flawlessly, dicking around with OS, need to add IR, may run into some compatibility with files that can't be run by video card vs processor.
What am I missing?
