the USB thing is a huge issue for me because I prefer to use a keyboard with my gbox. With Ouya I would have to choose between a keyboard or external USB drive. Not an issue on the gbox.
Obviously I have the Gbox, but can the Ouya not handle a USB splitter/hub in order to manage more than one USB? Or is the hardware incapable of that in the same way a true PC/Mac can?

I do realize that a hub sitting next to the box would kind of kill the form factor, but I'm just curious if it's possible with these boxes.

From a quick search, it appears that Ouya does support a USB hub. But I'm not sure if the HUB has to be self-powered or not. In addition, you can only add one HD via USB when using a HUB. If you plug in two HDs, one of them won't be visible.

My understanding is that for 1080p, it's best to use ethernet rather than wireless. At any rate, my TV is only 720p, so it's moot for now.

It would sit in my cabinet, so that wouldn't be a huge issue.
