Sorry for my lack of clarity. The HT part was $100 - I already had the PC. I added a Pinnacle ATSC Tuner/capture card (with TV remote) for $50, and the case was $40 after rebate at Fry's.
As far as the software - it took a few minutes to download and install MediaPortal into an XPSP2 system and I was up and running.
