Hi there,
I've spotted this system for sale on a local forum I visit - the guy is looking £260 for it as it stands and it is built so I wouldn't need to do much else.
My question is, how well shall this run XBMC? If I buy a Blu-Ray drive and throw it in, will it be able to play it fine? I realise that the max output of the mobo is 1080i, will this be enough when connected to my 1080p Panasonic 37" G10?
Would I be better to make my own and benefit from an ION graphics card and less processing power? Please respond with thoughts - my budget would be £350-400.
Let me know what you think!
Thanks,
Ross.
