hi i'm evaluating my needs.
basically i need a xbmc device that will run live, not loaded within a host OS. As a standalone machine, that will stream videos from my whs2011 server
I bought the wdtv live, and thought meh and returning it, because it's too limited. there are so many cool channels on xbmc like tedtalks, techcrunch, and others that i love to watch, and wdtv is far too fidgity and needs tweaks to get these channels to work.
i read up a lot about acer revo nettops, and everyone seems to harp on about the r3700, it's quite expensive retail in the uk, but i can get a r36oo for a reasonable price, performance wyse if i wasto run the xbmc as a standalone, will i noticed much difference?
what other options are available to me?
