Cheap HTPC board? - selectany - 2012-03-18
I'm looking for a solution for the bedroom.
I just want to play a video stream coming from my hall-room's HTPC through LAN.
My main requirements are: Ethernet port, GPU.
Could you suggest any cheaper solutions (boards)?
PS0: Excluding Raspberry Pi.
PS1: I found PandaBoard and BeagleBoard but they are a bit expensive.

Apple TV 1 (wiki) + Broadcom Crystal HD (wiki) + Crystalbuntu (wiki). Get a nice ATV1 from ebay, install the BCHD (get the BCM970015), and you have something that is cheaper than $100 that plays anything, outputs a full 1080, is small and quiet, etc.
