hey guys, been having a look around here today, what a wonderful source of information!
Anyways, at the moment I store my movies on a laptop and wirelessly stream them to my xbox 360. This is fine for standard def rips etc. However, I am now looking at wanting to watch high def content (my tv is only 720p atm but could be upgraded soon.) I was wondering if there was a cheap-ish device where I could have an extrernal or internal hardrive on it that I could transfer movies to from my laptop wirelessly (im assuming I couldn't stream them wireless as the hd movies are much bigger). Another reason for replacing the xbox 360 is that I think the menus in xbmc are stunning and it would help me keep track of my ever expanding collection. Anyways I'm open to all suggestions guys.
P.s im not scared of any 'technical' things, infact, i'd rather enjoy trying to solve a few problems along the way!
