this thing have be great ! I have own it for over a year and a half . I love the quality and the small size . no noisy fan or any negative . usb host be great . can even hook a usb external hd to this thing . have not use hdmus yet but it be great to have for when I upgrade to a flat panel . overall I have no complaint ... the 1000 Watts be a little of a overstatement but it be plenty loud enough for home application .
