I would agree with the rest. There is no point upgrading that CPU with that platform. Get the graphics card and do some OC'ing, and save up more and get a i5 or even i7 system.
Popcorn hour is the same price at which I can build a mITX PC which is what I am considering now.
Just not too confident my ability to manage custom FW on WDTV Live (considering the linux pedigree) otherwise that would be the one for me.
Model, strange you say many players are Sigma, most I...
Edited:
as mentioned I am changing the build to an AMD one with the same case and because I do not want to make a new thread, here goes.
the system will be in my bedroom so I want it to be as quiet as possible and 65W edition would better fit the bill for what I need.
Would the 65W version...
Boxee box I think will be america only, so not something that I will be waiting for.
I am having a second look at media player PC alternative, cause I found ASUS AT3IONT-I Deluxe, got a HDD and all I need is a RAM and I am good to go. Will need a case at some point as well of course.. :D
I am considering mITX Atom build and I want something with solid build and relatively small. I am looking at the Antec ISK 300/310. For same strange reason locally 150W is cheaper then 65W, and that is where the problem comes in. Since it has non modular PSU built in, I wonder can they all be...
Only thing that worries me with WD Live is that I will need to load up custom FW and I am not sure how much I will have to do with comand line or telnet or whatever it is called. I like my shiney GUIs.
Media player itself is sorted, torrent client seems to have webUI, all that I am really...
Not really thinking about a HTPC option. I have seen some media players with torrent support and I want to make it as a 24/7 box for torrents. Which I can watch afterwards of course.
I live in a small flat so noise is an issue major issue. And would like something that is not power hungry...
I am in Latvia, and should more or less be able to get whatever is available in Europe generally. I don't really want to spend more then 150 EUR ($200 USD equivalent).
One of the first things that I saw and really liked was Popcorn Hour A-200 (I think). Optional WiFi, optional internal HDD...
Sorry should have been more specific.
I want to make a shared folder on my laptop and stream movies from the laptop to the TV. Alternative could be that I transfer wirelessly movies from laptop to the media player.
I am not in US so such things as Netflix and Hulu et. al. is not something...
Hocking up my laptop to the TV is not something I want to do. I tried it for a while, but it too much hustle and it became very slow. I do not have HDMI port on the laptop either.
HTPC is another option I am cosidering. Might go with something like ION nettop
I am in a market for a stand alone media player that I plan to hook up to my Full HD TV, and watch movies and such that I have on my laptop.
I would appreciate any suggestions and comments on what is out there. Aim is to have something cheap and reliable as I hope to update my TV in a year or...
