As the title suggests I'm after opinions on which would be best for a small form factor htpc - the Foxconn NT-A3500, Revo 3700 or eMachine 1401. All seem to be about the same price (damn ebuyer selling out of the 1401).
I'd be sticking 2GB/4GB and a small 2.5" hd into the foxconn.
Then whichever I use will be running media from a 2TB usb drive.
All it will be used for is playing media on xbmc. Little to no 1080p, mostly SD, with the odd bit of compressed 720p and even fewer compressed 1080p files.
No hd audio, surround isn't even an issue.
So, which should it be? Is any particular one better than the other?
