1. I had the same ground problem with my xbox. All you have to do to fix it is wrap a wire around the yellow video cable, and ground the other end anywhere you can....trust me......it will stop the noise. 2. Also if you get the wireless card for the xbox you can upload music and videos to it wirelessly. I park my car in the garage and am able to add any new music or videos to it from upstairs. 3. If you get an xbox remote, you can acually control XBMC with it. Better and easier to use while driving instead of the joystick. obviously I am an Xbox guy. I like it becasue it does

The Mac Mini requires a VGA monitor to display text, or it will be very blurry and unreadable. I currently have the Mac Mini set up with my D2, touchscreen will not work like chill903 said, but I use it with the Apple remote for front row as a way to play music. The Ipod connector is not that great with the D2.
