Hello, I've become very interested in xbmc and have decided i think i want to get myself an acer Revo r3700 as a late xmas present. i want to
1. stream tv shows and movies (that i own) from my NAS via xbmc
2. watch freeview via catchup tv on xbmc
3. watch iplayer via xbmc
4. watch skygo/skyplayer via internet browser.
i see ebuyer uk has 4 flavours of revo varying in OS and RAM. prices go from £200-290. basically 2gb or 4gb of Ram and a choice of win7 and Linux (something called linpus). Also one the cheaper version has wired keyboard. not too bothered about the price but want value for money. might also get a remote.
I have read that the revo is no good for HD audio but i don't think this is a problem, i don't really know what it is. i will only listen in stereo via the TV for the foreseeable future.
What version best suits my needs? any other suggestions? is a mac mini complete overkill?
Thanks
Kolo
