Hi Guys,
I need some help from you.
I’m thinking about getting myself a HTPC.
First I was thinking about getting me my own eskro G5 (As descriped here http://forum.xbmc.org/showthread.php?tid=96489)
But this configuration is way to expansive, it about 550-600 Euros.
As I plan to play mostly smaller files like TV shows’ episodes, some 720p movies and only a few 1080p movies I thought a ZBOX could be a good alternative for me.
But the question is: which box to get?
Has anyone experience with the ID41? They range about 200 Euros.
Or what about the Nano box like the NANO-AD10?
I want a system that can run xmbc on Win7 64bit smoothly.
Up to now, I don’t have a 5.1 System, but I’m thinking about getting one next spring.
I guess that’s the point where I want to play the sound over the AVR from my HTPC.
Is this possible with a ZBOX? Or do I need to get a “real” HTPC?
Thanks for your help guys!!!
