HUSH ATX Media PVR

Hush Technology is coming out with another cool product. Their Hush ATX Media PVR is a silent Microsoft Windows XP based PVR and media center, that looks like it does a lot of cool stuff. Here are the specs of the hardware:

• Hush ATX Aluminium Case with 3 Heatpipes,
• 240 Watt Power Supply, Fanless,
• Mainboard FIC P4-865PE, Socket 478, Intel Chipset 865PE, FSB 800
• 2.8GHz Intel® Celeron® Processor,
• 512MB DDRAM PC400 (2x256MB),
• 160GB Samsung HDD, 7200 RPM,
• Teac DVD-R / RAM / CDR-W Combo, DV-W22E, Slim Line,
• Radeon 92V, 128MB DDR SDRAM incl. Graphic Card-Kit
• DVI+CRT+TV out, Fanless, AGP 8X RiserCard,
• Hauppauge NOVA-S, Digital SAT TV Card PCI,
• 4x USB 2.0, 2x IEEE 1394 FireWire, RS232, parallel, Mouse and Keyboard Ports,
• 6 channal Audio Realtec ALC650 Sound 5.1, SPDIF out (Optical/RCA)
• 10/100 LAN Ethernet on Board,
• USB / FireWire Panel in Front, for 2xUSB + 2xFireWire in Front,
• ATI Remote Wonder - Remote Control

Since the only input looks to be the Hauppauge NOVA-S, Digital SAT TV Card, I don't think that this will work in the US, without some modification. I wonder if it could be replaced with a NTSC or ATSC card, and the software would just recognize it.

Also I am not sure about how much this will cost when it does come out, and if it comes out in the US.
