6 months without cable and the cost of the whole setup has been covered by what the cable bills would have cost.
Thanks Cabby and others for the help on that!

dumbass
you should have just bought a sammy web tv.
i have a htpc, pentium quad core fullsize pc, and a ps3 all hooked up to my new sammy.
none of them get any use since the sammy can hit netflix and hulu on its own.
i havent had cable in almost a year

Panasonic, Sony and LG will all hit Hulu and Netflix too, my LG has a built in Plex Client* as well which makes streaming any downloads not only effortless but really pretty with the automatically downloaded Cover Art/Description, automatic sorting and excellent interface.

Mac? And I thought XB in XBMC means Xbox, as in Xbox Media Center

Originally yes, but it was ported years ago to unix and Windows cause old XBoxes can't run HD well, amongst other things.

Plex (also known as "Plexapp" or "Plex Media Center"  is a partially open-source freeware media player with a 10-foot user interface, which is available for Intel-based Macintosh computers and computers running Microsoft Windows.[1] Its source code was initially forked from XBMC Media Center on May 21, 2008; this fork is used today as a front end media player for Plex's back end server component.[2][3][4]

I have no idea which wikipedia you use, but on one I use, it says:
"XBMC was originally created as a media center application for the first-generation Xbox game
console but is now, since 2010, officially available as a native application for Linux, Mac OS X
(Snow Leopard, Leopard, Tiger), iOS (iDevices that are jailbroken), Apple TV, and Microsoft
Windows operating systems, running on most common processor architectures.[23] Also available
is a bootable Live CD and Live USB standalone version referred to as "XBMC Live" which is made
for easy setup on bare-metal installations and to be used for interactive demonstrations"
