I have a full HTPC but recently saw these: http://lifehacker.com/5391308/build-a-silent-standalone-xbmc-media-cente r-on-the-cheap
may have even been on this board. Anyway no experience with them but they looked good. -----Original Message----- From: hardware-boun...@hardwaregroup.com [mailto:hardware-boun...@hardwaregroup.com] On Behalf Of Steve Tomporowski Sent: Wednesday, November 11, 2009 8:21 AM To: The Hardware List Subject: [H] Media Servers A week ago I finally pulled the trigger and bought my first HD TV (32" 1080p Insignia, it was on sale!). Finally this weekend settled it in the place where it will stay, now I'm looking for something to send my media files to it. It does have a VGA input, so the computer on the other side of the wall can run video to it, but that's awkward. So I figured on some kind of media server. Is there anything good out there? I've seen a bunch of Linksys units on Newegg that handle a large amount of formats. As these good? Incidentally, my first time watching HD (now two Sunday's worth of football), I love the detail and especially how much more of the field you can see. But I also noticed that Hi Def can show you things you don't want to see. I'm not talking about blemishes or cuts/bruises/blood. I'm talking....NOSE HAIRS. Amazing how much of that I can see now.....;-) Ah, but I really want to know what people are using for media servers..... Thanks...Steve
