Im looking for a good HTPC and found one but was wondering if anyone has one that could tell me if its good. I like that fact that it has all the movies on it already. But i would also like to network it to other rooms in the house. the unit in question is here:

Welcome to the forums!

Can you specify the hardware it contains and the price for hardware separate from movies if possible?

You may get a better deal in hardware by building it yourself.

Rough guesstimate of hardware costs ~ $1000 (mostly for the 5 x 1.5TB drives)
Figures to $2.00 / Blu-Ray movie
Doesn't sound like it's expandable (no adding drives/new movies)
Blu-Ray drive is not standard (optional at $180)
If hard drive configuration is RAID, a bad hard drive means downtime until it's replaced by MyMoviePC.

If you like and don't already own most of those movies, it's probably a good deal, but I'd want detailed specs (as evongugg recommends) first as well as a firm understanding of what can and can't be done with it.
