It's more the size of the machine that I'm after. I'm running two media servers, one with all my dvd movies on it, ripped from disks. And the other with avi files movies tv music etc. and I use the dvd drive to play movies from it through the 32inch led. I'd rather have windows 7 with remote as I can't see benefits in having the osx on the machine
