Been running with XBMC on my HTPC for a couple years and love it. I am in the market for a portable media player to use in our new minivan (which has HDMI in). I found a couple small HD media players (each with their own gui) that can play off of an attached/installed Hard Drive, or removable media. One such product is the Patriot Box Office. Reading through their own support forum, it seems as though "hacking" their box with other's firmware to provide an attractive GUI is already in place. I could not find anyone who managed to install XBMC though. Does anyone have any experience with this box and XBMC? Is it even possible? thx!

my original media player, before upgrading to htpc/xbmc, was the PBO (w acryan firmware). The PBO would not be a bad choice at all for the application you mention. You might even be able to pick up an older one used for cheap too. You would also need to get a power inverter for use in a vehicle.
