here are a bunch of them.

I wish I had the cash to build a little media center PC, micro-ATX in a nice case with two 500GB drives and a remote control..anyway, hope that helps.

It's really not - the hardest part is getting it to show up in a menu correctly when you start it up. I gave up on it and just switch the two hard drives back and forth when I want to go to a different OS.
