Looking for cheapest XBMC Box - buzz_kill - 2012-08-05
I am searching the web trying to find the cheapest way to run XBMC in all its glory.
I have a couple old desktops that I turned into XBMX boxes, I want to retire those, and also get a couple for family members.
I have found this: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=56-205-006&SortField=0&SummaryType=0&Pagesize=10&PurchaseMark=&SelectedRating=-1&VideoOnlyMark=False&VendorMark=&IsFeedbackTab=true&Page=2#scrollFullInfo
I was wondering if it would be good for XBMC, and if there is possibly a cheaper route to go.

Definitely the cheapest i've seen.!

I'm running OpenELEC on one of these.. If you add £20 for memory then £10 for a USB flash drive then you've got a nice little XBMC box for not much cash.!

Raspberry Pi will definitely be a good choice when you can play all the formats, and play them flawlessly.
The pulsebox would be double the price of the one I found, as long as the one I found would do the job
