Pre-built, pre-configured Myth box(es?)

What would be the level of interest if I had, say, a complete, built, software 
installed, fully-configured, HDTV-enabled/capable box for sale?

-Antec Sonata II case
-Athlon 64 4000+
-onboard digital audio
-onboard firewire
-onboard Gigibit NIC
-GeForce 6 series PCIe video (VGA, DVI, Component, SVid outs)
-1GB memory
-250GB hard drive (case has mounting trays for 4 drives)
-HDTV tuner card
-SDTV tuner card w/hardware mpeg2 encoder
-dvd burner

Ballpark of $600. Could easily substitute a more HTPC-friendly case or tweak 
any of those bits without a whole lot of hassle. I can also throw Fedora on 
it, complete with MythTV and configure it, or this could be a box worth 
hauling along to a MythTV installfest to go through the fun yourself. Some 
parts are practically brand new, some are a bit older, but all are (to the 
best of my knowledge) in perfect working order.

Why am I selling this system? Well, 1) its currently very underutilized, since 
most of my tinkering happens on development systems provided by my employer 
these days and 2) because I need to raise funds to replace a dual opteron 
server-class motherboard I managed to destroy last weekend... :(
