My head spins at all of the possibilities. I would like to tell you all my situation, and have you recommend a build for me.
I would like to build a dedicated XBMC appliance, that works seamlessly as possible with my current AV equipment. I am dealing with a wife and two young kids that will be using this as well, so simplicity is the key. I feel that XBMC live on a SSD is the right way to go for me.
I will not be using it as a DVR, I will be streaming Netflix, I will want to rip my DVD collection to hard drive and be able to play it, my TV is only 720p, and audio will be piped to the reciever via optical cable.
So much to choose from.... what do you recommend?
