There is a great divide between media players and Home Theater PCs (HTPC). There are many pros and cons to each type of device, as I discovered from installing and managing a Home Theater network over many years. I eventually came to the conclusion that HTPCs are noisy, use way too much electricity, produce too much heat, and just don't work right all of the time, which really impacts the SAF (Spousal Acceptance Factor).

Patriot is a company that is known primarially for its computer memory solutions, but they have developed a media appliance that promises to resolve all of the issues of a HTPC in an inexpensive media appliance. This wonder product is known as the Patriot Box Office.
