Hey there folks, just as a little warning i am a newbie here.
I have searched though the forums and have found a lot of "how-to" guides with people installing XBMC onto the acer aspire nettop boxes and i am myself throwing around the idea of doing the same and moving XBMC off my Dell XPS M1710 which has done wonderfully for these past 8 months.
What im wondering is what is the new way of doing this? The acer aspire revo 1600 is not stocked anymore and i have not seen any posts so far about what people are currently using as a nettop. Im trying to find an option that is around the same cost as the original revo 1600, what im most concerned about is HD video playback and 5.1 audio output into my receiver.
Also if there are any links you guys want to shoot my way to help me teach myself about what i will need to do, buy, etc that would be great, love learning new things. Im a pretty strong windows user and should be able to figure out some stuff, its just knowing what equipment i should start with that is holding me up.
p.s. if there is any type of detail you guys need let me know, i think this is more of a general question but i can supply what info i can.
