Currently I have an Aspire Revo 1600 and a few ATV2's running XBMC around the house. (all served by an unraid box)
They all work great for their intended purpose but I have been tossing around the idea of building a custom htpc and moving the Revo from the main tv to a bedroom.
My biggest reason for the upgrade is the Revo doesnt have the horsepower to smoothly use the 'pictures' section of XBMC. Im really into photography and have thousands of pictures and like to view them on my tv's sometimes. The revo just takes too long to render each picture when clicking through them.
Also, a more powerful cpu and the ability to bit-stream HD audio when its finalized is a big draw.
(of course cant over state the fun factor of building something new and having something new to tinker with!)
Thinking of running Openelec
Already have HP USB ir receiver and multiple harmony remotes.
That said....my intended purchase:
Hmmm...wishlist not showing up.....
