If you also run a long USB cable, you can hook up all kinds of stuff, especially joysticks for emulation :] I keep the actual box that does the streaming in the basement to avoid any sort of fan noise, and just run an HDMI cable and a digital audio cable(I use SPDIF, simply because it was the simplest to run and I had stacks of long RCA cables) coming up through the floor and hooked to the flat screen in the living room. content, and has finally become genuinely stable enough for everyday use, even for my mildly non-technical wife, who has to keep TV rolling for 2 kids on demand. It does all of the Hulu/Netflix/Pandora/ESPN360/etc. If you're using Linux or Windows, I would go with Boxee. It also does Pandora, which is awesome, since the system is already hooked up to the stereo. Using the Apple remote works beautifully, and it handles Hulu, Netflix, YouTube and anything else you could throw at it. If you've got a spare Mac (which would be pretty rare), I would highly recommend Plex. It didn't stream web content though, and to this day it's still a PITA to stream through the modern XBMC, even in Windows.
well, since it first came out for the original XBox. Though I guess you'd need to go with Windows to get crappy DRM'd content like Hulu and Netflix (which I've simply just been doing without).

But going with a full nettop means it should be pretty straightforward to run all XBMC, Boxee, MythTV, Miro, etc.

I don't actually have a TV, though, so I haven't really bothered to find media software I liked. That takes care of pretty flexible hardware. if you find a usb pendrive linux-based media center that streams everything. many are under $300 if you can provide your own storage. I've been testing these things for work, and I'm very impressed.ĭual core atom w/ hyperthreading actually makes the system very responsive, so it's easier to forget that it's not a "real" CPU, unlike my single-core eeePC that does stutter occasionally.Īlso has a decent nVidia 9400 GPU with dedicated RAM, so it actually will give you decent 3D desktop effects (useful for monitoring multiple pieces of content simultaneously), decoding acceleration, etc.
