The Nvidia ION platform has got me thinking that I would like to replace my Apple TV with something that doesn't lock me into itunes and mp4/m4v files.
I was thinking of a custom Mini-itx build but can seem to come up with something that has everything the apple tv* does and is a decent price.
Here is what i'm aiming for.
1. HDMI
2. Optical audio (do i need this?) I have a Panasonic digital receiver with no HDMI
3. Wi-fi
*4. TV tuner card.
5. Smaller the better, slim 5.25 drive or no cd drive, etc.
I would probably run boxee, XBMC, or WMCE.
Thanks!
