If you're going to buy an AppleTV and use it stock out of the box as Jobs intended, then it's a fine device.
If you are going to start hacking and applying work arounds to use it the way a normal person would expect it to work (IE: play MKV files and other non-Apple anointed filetypes) then it's not worth the effort. Mythbuntu is better at that (but if you are new to Linux Mythbuntu can be a huge hassle) and so is Windows Media Centre (XP or 7 (don't touch Vista)).
