I'm moving out of my apartment and my roommate is keeping the revo 1600 that we bought and giving me $100 for his part of it. We had xbmc live on it and it worked great.
Now i need to buy a replacement xbmc device. I have my old xbox1 in my bed room but I'm gonna need something for the living room. It looks like the revo 1600 is not available anymore. What are the other boxes around that are around the same price ($200) Is apple tv2 a good choice right now I feel like there may be some bugs to work out. Thanks

If you want to go this route I got an atv1 off craig's list for 100 you could probably talk the price down, plus the cost of a crystal hd card. Works great for my bedroom setup.

And where does that leave XBMC and your skin if people are not prepared to work and save for a decent computer, but yet they expect everything to be handed on a plate to them.
The future needs to happen and it needs to now.

I don't know if there is a microcenter near you but they always have these junky desktop refurbished pc's you can get cheap.. just grab one and stick a geforce 210 in it.

Yeah you won't find anything quite as cheap. You can build up a small HTPC with a low power dual core proc for around $250-300 if you part it out on newegg. You'll see numerous builds in the hardware section of this forum.
That Revo 1600 was definitely a unique deal... I too wish I had bought a few of them.
