Hi,
I am trying to figure out which hardware for a XBMC installation my needs would fit best.
The PC will only be for XBMC and no gaming, but should fulfill the following points:
as silent as possible (without exploding costs)
can play HD schmoothly
boot time as fast as possible (maybe openELEC?)
remote can stop AND start from standby
and if possible with bluray (I try to avoid win7 but would go with it, if the solution works fine. By the way, I am not very experienced with linux but would do/learn all the neccessary to get it to run.)
Please help me, all the threads I have read so far confused me even more. I would go with a solution like ZBox, and change fan to make it silent, if this would work.
Thanks alot
Frank
