Hows this for an idea?
The MP team get together and come up with the perfect component list for a low cost MP Client machine. Then get in touch with someone who can provide them with a built machine including a bulk order discount.
The MP team could then sell these machines much like Vista Media Center Extenders?
This could be a little money spinner for the MP team and help put a little pocket money in their hands.
It would need to have the following characteristics...
- Low Cost (Media Center Extenders sell for NZ$400 here)
- Low Power
- Small Size
- Silent
- Hardware HD Decoding
- HDMI interface
- "pretty"
The perfect scenario would be buying the client.... Unboxing it.... Swithing it on... Configuring MPortal and then it just works....
One advantage would be a lot of people would be running the same hardware spec for their client machines.
I would be interested to see some discussion on this.
