The only software I use on it is SageTV; it's the ultimate HTPC software as far as I'm concerned. Videos, TV, pictures, music, online video, etc. Cuts out all the commercials in recorded shows, compresses anything older than a week into h264 files, and simple enough that my girlfriend has no problems using it.
I think that case looks great. And $400 is a good price range to be in. I already have a Harmony remote which should have no problem connecting to it.

Do you have it connected to your home computer as well? Or is everything stored on your HTPC?
