I dont really want to have to go through the pain to build my own htpc and then start worrying about compatibility and driver updating and issues surrounding that! Just too much hassle, would rather just put in a small amount of extra cash and get it all ready for me to just install software.

Thanks

Custom-built HTPC barebones can be very affordable, certainly more affordable than those ASRock units.

Yes, but the only one i find that is compatible with 3D seems to be the PulseBox and that seems to have its own problems with over heating etc..

Here if you want a full HTPC with software already installed: http://www.assassinhtpc.com/
Here if you just want a customized barebones and you'll install the RAM, SSD and software: http://www.ecosmartpc.com/

Wow thanks a lot for the link to http://www.assassinhtpc.com/

Those seem ideally what i need, the only problem is with it being in US and me being in UK! Im trying to find out where i can get one from in UK, as a customised Elite model would probably meet all my needs, or actually even an extender player might do everything i need!

Thanks

Hahahah thanks for that link!

I also came across this device: Egreat R300
http://www.ebay.com/itm/ws/eBayISAPI.dll...RK:MESE:IT

It seems like the perfect companion, seems to handle everything - all types of media including 3d and hd audio. Any thoughts of this? It seems powerful enough to run anything and at an amazingly low price also!

Let me know what you think.

The benefit of the Assassin units is that i can customise it to my liking and even include a bluray drive in it which could prove useful for 3D movies, but it would cost A LOT more then one of those Egreat units which is the only thing holding me back! If Egreat can do everything then why not just go for that to save a small fortune!
