While that’s true – the problem is that the stated goals are bizarre given product timing that they should have known about. I don’t think it’s possible for them to have picked a worse time to build that box; had they waited a month (or two) significantly cheaper/better hardware would have been available as well as nVidia’s HDMI 1.4 driver. Anyone who follows their guidance to achieve similar objectives and doesn’t do some homework will be completely screwed.

Very good point.

This is probably why magazines don’t do these types of builds very often. There’s never a “perfect” time. I won’t begin to understand how long it takes for a magazine article to go from “idea” to “newstand”, but I get the feeling that’s the piece we’re not aware of and it probably played a bigger role than we realize. Too bad there’s no website out there, devoted to HTPCs, which could publish something in a more timely fashion… 😉
It happened so fast, I missed it. Who had their hand up first? ;D
