The design looks like someone slapped a display on a trash can, but the Media Pro HD is a full HD networked hard drive media player that hooks up to any HDTV or A/V receiver allowing you to get started almost immediately.

It features a hot-swappable hard drive tray and you can hook up to your home network without wires, but it does have an Ethernet option too. Some other features include a Sigma Designs SMP8635 CPU and Silicon Image SiI9134 HDMI 1.3 transmitter for just $215.
