[QUOTE="kellizer2, post: 317305, member: 27444"] I’m considering coming back to mediaportal as I’m disillusioned with VMCE current processes lack of support related to extenders (lack of codec support). I’ve been playing with RC3 and it seems Rock Solid. I need some advice on getting the best “Client PC” that would fit neatly into my living room media components and basically replace my XBOX360 as the media extender. I have a "Tv Server" PC in the cellar so it will not need to have any large HD or TV Tuners I’ve been looking at the Acer L3100 ([url=http://hardwaretechreview.com/acer-aspire-l3600-review] Acer Aspire L3600 Review Hardware Tech Review : Review On The Latest PC Hardware, Accessories, Gadgets, Mobile Phones and Video Game Consoles On The Market[/url] ) & L5100 but they retail at around 300 GBP & that seems tad expensive (I will need 2). So – my requirements are; • Sexy Looking (not a standard tower) • Quiet • Run on a 37inch HD-TV (HDMI/DVI) • Should be-able to run H.264 content. • Have a DVD player Any advice or experience of choosing this type of hardware would be greatly appreciated Many Thanks Ian.
