Best mediia player

Hi

What is the best media player for xbmc? I'm looking for a super budget player that can have a hard drive externally plugged in.
Any ideas?

Plenty of options, A really cheap windows machine? Small linux box? Apple TV? Apple TV 2? Raspberry Pi is super cheap! Depends on your level knowledge as well and if you want it to be HD etc?
Set Up
Raspberry Pi running Raspbmc - XBMC 12.2
40" Samsung ES6800 LED Smart 3D 1080P TV
Onkyo HTS3405 5.1 DD True HD and DTS-HD Surround Sound
ReadyNAS Duo with 4TB (2 x 2TB X-RAID) Western Digital Caviar Green using NFS

For ease probably windows then (depending on your preferred OS choice) so something like this maybe? http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.as...6883103297 Not that cheap compared to a Pi or ATV2 but they require a little more "hackery" to get XBMC working.
