Multimedia Center

I'm starting to get into the idea of setting up a Media Center for my house. I already have the best thing on earth... a DirecTivo with a network card, web access, and the ability to make DVD's from it. But... BUT... I want MORE! So... the most complicated but feature rich path is to go with Myth. But its really for more of the hardcore Linux users. Going with Microsofts Media Center is pricy and requires LOTS of hardware, but gives you TiVo like functionality. I have a TiVo so I don't need that. What I really want is something to play my MP3's on my TV, and also some movies I download. So currently my thought is to run XBOX Media Player, which requires you to hack your XBOX, but given you can buy a complete system with a remote control for about $220.00, and the system has networking, DVD player, IR Remote control and the ability to do HD out... hell, how can I go wrong? Well see....
