Will this (used) Shuttle be ok for XBMC?
#1
Hi
Well, my Xbox 360 died the other day so I started looking towards XBMC as a replacement for viewing my video collection / streaming from my Desktop or NAS.

I was hoping I might be able to buy a cheap small form factor PC (used) from ebay but I'm really struggling to work out which will be suitable. I thought I was ok with PCs but looking at spec lists has left me somewhat confused.

I was looking at the <£50 Shuttle PCs on ebay (UK).

Would this:

be capable of running XBMC under linux (or maybe just the package distro)?

Many thanks,
Paul

Looking on Wiki, the Semperon processor looks like it'll be capable (I think), but I believe it has on board graphics....

Also, another issue is my TV is old and outdated i.e SCART and connecting the two isn't as simple as lead. Any suggestions? I'm now running XBMC on an Acer D150 (ubuntu) and my Phenom X6 desktop (Win 7) and I'm highly impressed!
