Well, the Build-Ins are spreading... I hosted one in Alameda last weekend, and two people who came are hosting their own. Three machines built, but mine (the host's ironically) has some issues with front-end (view recording seg-faults front-end, tho mplayer -vo x11 -framdrop from commandline is very very nice... I like HDTV; view live drops sound after a bit).
