Mediagate MG-350HD

"Now that there's plenty of compressed video formats available, we need to find a way to bring them into play. Finding a better way to gather people around our computer desks would be impractical and building or buying an HTPC would give us the ability to compressed video files, but can be pretty expensive. What if there was another alternative? Enter the MG-350HD. The Mediagate MG-350HD is a cross between a multimedia appliance and a network attached storage device with a hefty arsenal of useful and in some cases unexpected features."
I think the reviewer will agree with me when I say that this product is not the best way to go. In addition to the reviewers point that you can you can go with a HTPC for about twice as much, you could also go with something like the Philips DVP642 for under $50 which will play homemade Divx DVD's.
