Set-top box with guts does *everything*
The Hannibal Deuce Plus is a monster bad-ass set-top box. Built on a Ubuntu Linux box with the incredible Mythtv tivoing software, it does all the things that the other companies lack the courage to try. It'll rip and store your DVDs, it'll Torrent videos off the net and store them, it'll skip commercials and grab your pictures off your camera's memory card and organize them for you. It's got WiFi and Ethernet, and can run multiple tuner-cards if you want to record shows off of more than one channel at a time. Link (via Red Ferret)
