Has anyone purchased a Microtel SYSMAR710 box or similar from walmart for
$199.86?

It comes with Lindows installed but I would be curious as to any thoughts on
how it runs on Lindows or any other flavor of linux.  At 800mhz and 128mb
ram upgradeable to 1gig with a 10gb hd (5400rpm unfortunately) the deal
looks
decent.  I was thinking about turning one into a PVR.

Any/all comments suggested. thanks.

Mike
