But then again, why not hook your old computer to your tv

HDMI, 1080p, noise, and power consumption.

This device would make a perfect MythTV frontend/backend machine. If it's for real, I want one just for a HD frontend.

It's actually more like Sun's old layout with the Ctrl key on the home row and the Esc key accessable from the home row. I type these keys quite often and my left wrist is grateful for this keyboard.
