Hi everyone,
I've been looking at XBMC (and PLEX to some extent) for a while now and I'm finally to the point that I can spend some money on getting my media system set up through out my house.
I'm planning on having a client running XBMC for each TV and a NAS for storage along with a dedicated torrent box (NAS and Torrent box may be 1 but that's not important).
For the XBMC clients I'm considering 3 options
Can anyone help with positives and negatives for each?
A couple questions that I could use some help on:
Thanks in advance everyone. I am very excited to finally be able to start using XBMC.

For the XBMC clients I'm considering 3 options
- Asus Eee B204 w/ XBMC for Linux
- Apple TV w/ XBMC for Mac
- Mac Mini w/ XBMC for Mac
Can anyone help with positives and negatives for each?
A couple questions that I could use some help on:
- Will the B204 (Atom N280 w/ Hardware Video) handle 1080p? Or is XBMC Software decode only?
- Are there any differences between the Linux and Mac versions of XBMC?
Thanks in advance everyone. I am very excited to finally be able to start using XBMC.
