Posted on the Bargains of the Tech...

PCMicrostore has a portable USB2 2.5 inch external case with MPEG4/Divx/Xvid decoder and TV out built in for $99 shipped. Also comes with remote.

Interesting concept... load movies/music onto drive, take with you... plug into someones TV or montior, and watch.

It's PAL and NTSC and 100-240 volts. Travel king.

Burn $100 on something I don't need?

Cannot do ext2fs, though. Piece of crap

My brother bought one of those under the "Ximeta Media Share" name. It works really well and the component out quality is very good. It's very small, just a little wider and about 1.5" longer than a 2.5" hard drive.

It was $69.99AR ($20MIR) at Fry's a little over 2 months ago. http://shop1.outpost.com/product/4328055

I wonder if they can make one that takes 3.5" disk drives. That would be amazing. OTOH, I have a Philips DVP-642 DVD player ($65 at Amazon) that plays back DivX and MPEG4 files off of data CDs or DVDs. No DVD / VCD mastering, just burn the data to a CD/DVD and shove it into the Philips DVP-642. I love that thing.

it is an interesting concept. stick a 20 or 40gb 2.5" hdd in there and just load it up with the movies you want and it'll be like one of those dvd divx players, but much smaller.
