Ok guys this weekend I would like to order my parts for a bedroom htpc. As you can see from my sig I already have put together my main living room htpc. What i am looking fot is something that can stream mostly 720p but i have some 1080p movies. This will be hooked up to a wired network and my movies are stored on a usb hard drive connected to my pc. I would like to try linux or open elec i have no need for high def audio and this will strictly be for xbmc use no internet or anything else I want an appliance feel to it.
next is I have a buget of $250 for everything i will not be able to go over this or care to.

i was looking at this http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.as...6856119061 (Foxconn SFF R50-A1 AMD E-350 APU ) or

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.as...6856173027 (Zotac ZBOXNANO-AD10-U)

Which one if any would serve my purpose and if i use openelec do i need to buy a hard drive

Thanks for all your help guys

About the only difference I can find in those two systems is the Zbox has wifi and blutooth built in. If you don't need those, then I'd say the cheaper system is your better choice for the savings it provides.

Openelec does not need a hard drive to install to.

i vote for zbox
