[QUOTE="jdiffend, post: 11589, member: 10910"] As long as that box is in a closet or has it's own wing of the house or something I'm sure it will be fine. ;-) People have been running Media Portal on lesser machines than that but don't count on that remaining the case in the future. Watching TV on it is what seems to need the most CPU power. Make sure the TV tuner cards have MPEG2 hardware. A hacked XBOX costs a little over $200 (give or take) and could serve as a front end if you run XBMC. [url]http://www.xboxmediacenter.com/[/url] Just don't expect anything but a partially working beta version for some time. I just think it's more usefull than one of those dedicated media players. And the authors are even nice enough to post a link to the Media Portal website on theirs. So nice to see the open source community supporting each other. :roll: [/QUOTE]
