So I have a Cyclone Micro 2 player which is tops, but its local USB hooked up to the TV.
I have been looking at the various network media players around and they all do much of a muchness. But it struck me this morning, why not just buy a shuttle PC.
I was in the market for a new laptop, albeit for processing blu ray rips a bit more rapidly. But Vaios (yes I was looking at Vaios) are well pricey!
So I am thinking, how about just buy a decent Shuttle PC. Run a linux or ripped down version of XP. Knowing that it will play my MKVs but also have the ability of internet in the lounge and the functionality of a PC.
I dont particular need such a high spec pc and if I can get a shuttle PC that would do the job I am sorted.
The quest starts now for a decent HD shuttle.
Any recommendations
