I'm still waiting for Subtitle support as well so I can run in on my Revo, great work so far, but I watch a lot of foreign films and need the subs.

That's the only thing you need to do for hardware accelerated video and you still have the possibility to use subtitlles!
Did you actually test it your self on the revo ?
There is also new BCM70015

I haven't cracked open my 3610 yet and was wondering if I purchase a Crystal HD mini PCI-E card, is there an expansion mini PCI-E slot or is there only one and it is being occupied by the Atheros WiFi?

Yes, you would have to remove the WiFi card

So you just install it and that's it, the current stable version of XBMC can play HD files internally? Nothing else to do?

Put the card in and restart the PC. Windows autodetects the card and prompts for drivers. Cancel the driver installation. Download the drivers from Broadcom and run the setup. Your Crystal HD should now appear in Device manager under Sound, Video and Game controllers. Download and install a recent OpenGL build and that's it.
Note that you need .Net installed for the driver install to work. I don't know which version because I installed the lot.

Got my Revo 3610 last friday from Ebay, shipped from Taiwan, #1 service and I must say I love this little thing so far. I've been playing with it all week-end and it's set up quite nicely.
Running XBMC with alaska skin on Win 7 ultimate 64bits and it looks amazing.
Now I'm just waiting on my bluetooth usb dongle to set up my PS3 BD remote and my crystal hd card (both ordered from ebay).

I do :-)
There were initial reports of difficulties with a few videos depending on how they were encoded. I don't know the current status.
