Everyone,
Thanks for the advice on a
front end.  

My real question now is will a Revo 1600 and
an external dvd work for streaming hd (assuming 2 gb) or do I need to
go with the 3610.  What about if I eventually add a HD-PVR and use it
as a a second BE/FE, will the 1600 still so that?

Also, do I
need to replace the drive with a solid state drive to make it quite
or is the Revo virtually sound free.  My wife's main complaint
in the tv room is the sound (fan and or hd noise).  I think I read
that some people install myth on a memory card do they disable the
hard drive for complete quite?



I like the other suggestions, but since
sound is one of the top concerns I would like to go with a known
quantity that someone is using.  I am planning on making a mount to
put it on the back of the tv so I think I will be able to hide well
enough.
Thanks Again
P.J.
