@CASHMON3Y - any better solutions?
@Cash
Keep in mind, the ATV2 won't give you a 1080p experience. Although it can play 1080p content, it's video output is limited to 720p. So that's nothing I personally would spend my money on.
I'm also about to build my own house/appartment and am thinking for the best way to have XBMC everywhere at low costs. I'll ofc go the client/server way having a central MySQL db and a PVR backend running there. For the clients I was thinking about low power nettops, or once available maybe even just a ~40 bucks RapsberryPi running OpenElec. But I'm still not sure what to do with blurays, so I'll brobably use a Win7 box in the livingroom, which also gives me the possibility to play games and browse the web, having a full OS in the background.
