    no, you can connect usb stick up to 4gb, not all of the are working. You could get a cheap nas enxlosure and connect it with crossover cable

    to be honest the USB ports would mainly be used for a mouse and or keyboard.

    What is surprisingly good at the task is a PS2. A memory card softmod is enough to get it going. Its no where near as pretty as XBMC but being able to hook a external is a massive massive plus!

    If you have a PS2 give me a shout I wont be around Athlone this weekend but come Monday onwards I should be floating about :)

    witnessmenow sorted me out with a memory card for the above and I now have a 500gb passport sitting on top of my ps2 slim plugged in on USB.
    Not as nice an interface as XBMC but there's no annoying fan and it's far more portable as I don't need to connect it to my LAN to get media.
