OP, please add "Revo AR1600" to your title. A title search for an Acer Revo will not pull up your thread; I have a topic alert for "Revo" and it did not alert me to this deal. Additionally, please change "RB" to "refurbished" - "RB" is not a standard abbreviation.

thanks - I'm giving this a whirl and using the HP $60 printer rebate to get a new printer as well - HP Photosmart Plus selling for about $95 on Amazon
If you have a Bing CashBack account,you can buy a NEW one at Circuit City which has 15% cachback from Bing at this moment. To get 15% Cash Back, type in "Circuit City" @ Bing.com
The new one comes with keyboard and mouse.
The math goes like this
$209.99 - $31.50 CB = $178.49 + $0 ship + tax for some. $18.5 more than refub.
I played around with one the other day in the store, it is really a nice little machine and I would buy one in a heart beat for a media PC if I had the money and an HDTV. It seemed responsive enough and decent speed for web browsing. More than enough power to play MAME and n64 emulators for on the TV and the ion supports CUDA and there are codecs that will allow local HD videos to be accelerated using CUDA so there is very little cpu use. It really is a steal considering all the hardware and the legit windows license you get.

I want to use this with my whole house audio/video distribution system. The only input it supports is comoposite.
I would say its pretty unlikely. That adapter will only work for video cards that can output the actual composite signal over the vga line. It does not CONVERT the vga to a composite signal... I think that if this computer supported it, it would either say so or include the adapter as well. Every time you buy a video card it includes all the adapters because each manufacturer uses their own methods and there probably isnt a standard way to say route the component signal through the svideo out on the video card.
So extremely small chance that it would work but search around for nvidia ion specs and see if it mentions anything about composite output.
. I just spent 2 days getting one of these going with Mythbuntu. Everything is working fine as a frontend/backend, except that I don't have enough CPU power to commercial flagging with the Revo. No big deal. As I get more confident with Mythtv I will no doubt set up a dedicated backend with massive storage
Using a Silicon Dust HDHomeRun QAM tuner. Audio is over the HDMI to my Hanns 32inch 1920x1080 TV as the monitor.
One very happy camper here - thanks to all the OPs who posted this Acer Revo deal .
Got one of these last time from PCExpress and it's working great. Grab a boot version of XBMC Live and it's an instant Home media center. Tweak a few things and this will play anything (1080p MKVs, DVD ISOs, etc)

Would this thing work well in a closet as a Windows Home Server?? [After sticking a couple of USB drives on it, of course.]
Running mine on the stock XP but having issues with getting audio over HDMI. Anyone have luck? I updated the Nvidia drivers which allegedly are supposed to fix the issue, but no luck.
I don't have a revo... but I ran into this issue with a HTPC i built. Go to the control panel and go to sounds and audio devices properties. Once there, click on the audio tab, and change the HDMI sound to default. I think XP can only use 1 sound card at once...so you have to tell XP which one you prefer.

It ought to be fine for this. You could also slap in a replacement for its 160 gig internal drive if you saw a nice fatwallet deal for a laptop drive. One thing you might run into in the WHS install. It might take some doing to install it without a CDROM. You can get an external or check the web for other ways of finagling this on. I have an external and it boots from this or a USB flash drive fine.
