nul7 Wrote:Not that I disagree, but my point was that even the cheapest hardware you can buy will work. This particular combo is a good start for anyone who wants the cheapest solution that works.Sure - i never questioned that as for the processing power. it's just - at least i don't want something like that in the living room and i don't think many of you guys would want that. as for the pure power it'll do.

Unfortunately, that sony player did cost me the same or even more than an average slim desktop case - but it was worth it. I buyed it borked at ebay and still was paying nearly 100$ for it.
