pre-built MythTV boxes for sale

An Australian company has started selling pre-built MythTV boxes that look to be based on a shuttle PC chassis. The full set of features are here and a linux hacker has already figured out a couple missing features and a handful of security holes.

The major downside to this is the price. At current exchange rates, they're asking about $1350 for the PC loaded with MythTV. Another potential downside is using a pre-packaged version of MythTV. As MythTV continues to be updated, will owners of this device need to wait for official updates from the company? [via BoingBoing]

There is a US based company - Vyond - that is doing something similar. They are selling what looks like the Shuttle Box for $899 with MythTV pre-installed. Look at www.vyond.com.
