Help! Trying to build/buy XBMC device @ BestBuy.com
#1
Kind of a random question, but maybe someone on here can help. After a slew of awful gifts this past holiday season I ended up with over $500 in Best Buy gift cards. With that being a limitation is there anyone who can direct me to the components available there that could run XBMC as opposed to NewEgg.

I had trouble finding them, I think I could build the HTPC if need be. Best solution would be a nice small pre-built nVidia Atom nettop but even those seem to be in small supply, no Zotac or anything in their inventory.

I found this Dell Zino HD but it seems to be way overpriced and from what I researched barely able to handle 1080p with 7.1 audio.

Thanks in advance for any help.

Would work, but sold out. Best Buy sucks.

They also had the Zotac ZBox last week sold out, but now they just took it down. I'm assuming they'll do the same with this one.

Anyone have any ideas? The best I could find is the Mac Mini, but it's so damn expensive with no HD Audio or BluRay drive.

Looks like that linked Lenovo box is back in stock

Ask and you shall receive. Has anyone ever used this model to play full 1080p Blu Ray rips via XBMC?

Not specifically that nettop but it has an ION2 GPU so with xbmc it should run 1080p without any hiccups.
