I have one of these, a most excellent piece of kit.
Connected to my network I can access my servers hard drives and my flac (lossless) music collection.
Has the added bonus of upscaling downloaded divx films to my LCD panel.
You don't have to use a network, it has usb connections so you could just add an external hard drive.
Resonable price for what it does.
