    Woot!

    I do not know when the item of the day changes for woot.com but right now its a pretty nice quad core AMD based HTPC for $280

    Its refurbished and I dont think thats a big deal for this product.

    Just the 640GB HDD, Operating System, and maybe the CPU are worth about $280 and you get the full deal here, the keyboard/mouse, 4GB Ram, A nice IGP solution.

    This would be a good computer for a lot of things, not just HTPC use.

    Eh well they call it "Media Center" I guess that was a better term than HTPC, I truncated it for the thread title.

    Wow, that's a crazy good deal. For that price, you can barely get a dual core processor in regular deals. Too bad I already have way too many computers, though :rolleyes:
