Well it arrived at lunchtime today! Got home and eagerly opened it, realised we had no spare keyboards in the house (and mine is waiting to be delivered) so went to my Dad's school to get one - first time i have seen it since its refurbishment, it's like Fort Knox, bloody brill! - Got one and sorted everything out.
FIrst impressions? Fantastic! THe thing weighs a tonne, it all lights up nice and blue and displays any word up to 7 characters that I want it to (currently ARTISAN). The volume knob on it is absolute crap, it's plastic and gets semi-jammed half way around.
Wireless working, DVD drive working, all slots work, it's currently into my TV using a DVI-VGA converter, awaiting a DVI lead.
Sound wise my dad things my CD player sounds better, which is annoying because I spent £100 on a DAC to make it sound better, humph!
Media Centre is excellent with the remote, it all just works, it has a built in IR receiver in the box plus two external ones if you so wish.
Erm, anything else to say? Not sure.
