[Hampshire] XBMC ISO

Hi all



I’m looking to build / get a cheap media centre PC for under the telly. I
noticed [1] and wondered if anyone had used them and had any views… The
trouble is most of my collection of videos is in iso format. I have the
original DVD media for each iso but the disk needs to head toward the loft.



So far as I can tell, none of Apple TV, Roku, PS3 (or anything that “speaks”
DLNA) can handle these type of ISOs. I’ve just had my first play with xbmc
on a reasonably low specced Ubuntu box. Seemed to play them isos fine –
albeit a bit of a faff. I’ve seen these on ebay:

I must admit £120 is a bit steep but I guess if it contains everything and
is basically plug and play – fair enough. Just wondered if anyone had
tried it and noticed any performance issues.



Cheers

Rob
