Hello All,

I'm looking into getting hardware which will run the best skin, has optical out and run Milkdrop for music. Don't care about 3D but able to handle 2D 1080p.

Can you point me in the right direction. The OUYA might be the best choice for $99 but doesn't have optical out and XBMC software still in Alpha for it (right?).

rPi w/ a USB optical output ( http://www.amazon.com/dp/B0036VO4X4/ )

Edit: Not sure about how rPi is with the skins. If not then... Then I don't know... I also don't know about the rPi support for a USB audio out
But hardware wise I think that's it.

The Lenovo Q190 would be suitable: http://shop.lenovo.com/us/en/desktops/id...index.html

There's a thread here about it too.

USB audio is not supported by XBMC on RPi

Would the Asus cube work with XBMC?

It's basically a Google TV device. So, for now, no, but... someday....

Thanks NED.

I guess, I'm going to try the OUYA this weekend, with a Alpha build of 13 to see how it works out.

If it does, hopefully I can find a remote/keyboard with would work like the boxee or Vizio: http://gadgets.boingboing.net/gimages/vizio-remote.jpg

I want that remote!

I'm using the g-box midngint mx2, upgraded from the raspberry pi. I am very happy, even though there probably is better boxes, these are the only two I have used. I liked the raspberry, but the g-box kicks its ass!

Lenovo q190. Job done.

Does ouya have milkdrop visualization? Can't seem to find.

Ouya doesn't have shit!
