Hello everyone, I'm new to MediaPortal, but I'm happy to say, that I FINALLY found what I was looking for in a HTPC with this software. I've been searching for a long time.
Anyways, I'm ready to buy the hardware necessary for this amazing piece of software.
My question is, should I buy something like this?
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16883218053
I like it because of it's price and how small it is. But I'm wondering if I build my own, if I could get more performance out of the same amount of $ spent?
Finally, I want to know if that pre-built HTPC would be more than enough for MediaPortal to run on?
My main concern is performance with viewing videos, and going through the menus on MediaPortal, and I do not want ANY sort of lag, or slow down what's so ever!
If that pre-built HTPC isn't powerful enough, can someone link to me a build that would be what I'm looking for?
Thanks to anyone that can help!
