Not to seem skeptical, but how did you build this for $100? A hard drive + the NSK case must be over $100 right there, and that's before you add a motherboard, RAM, video capture card, wireless keyboard, mouse and remote control.... and whatever else I've forgotten, plus your time to twiddle with linux, install Myth TV etc. etc. etc.
