    Fiire's Linux-based media center ties it all together - Engadget

    "Fiire, a company which manufactures and sells modular media boxes and remotes aimed at unifying your media center has a few items it'd like you to see. The whole shebang is based around the FiireEngine, a $799 box that acts as a central hub to your media world... The Engine is meant to be accessed through the company's FiireStations ($499-899), set-top boxes or wallmount units that stream media from the FiireEngine to any location you want..."

    Great idea, and given Microsoft's botched their MCE release so badly it's not funny, but seriously, could the box look anymore tackier? Looks like some crappy plastic generic case with a sticker slapped on. The UI looks awful too, but maybe these guys fixed that in their version...
