Please help with a build - hmally123 - 2013-05-20 Hi, i want to build a htpc, and have read so many pages my brain is hurting now lol. what i want is A htpc which can stream full bd iso (all main movie only 25-30gb files) from a nas Can passthrough dts hd-ma and dolby true hd also would like it to start up straight into xbmc so it's wife and child friendly what would you guys/girls recommend as a minimum setup for this? I have a popbox 3d as a streamer already, works great with everything i mention above. but i just love the xbmc software and skins. Thanks H RE: Please help with a build - cwide - 2013-05-20 Might look into Openelec. You should be able to build/buy something very cheap that will do what you want. RE: Please help with a build - hmally123 - 2013-05-20 What type of specs eg processor, ram, mobo etc will I need RE: Please help with a build - cwide - 2013-05-20 Do you have a budget? Cheapest possible? Form factor? Optical drive? RE: Please help with a build - hmally123 - 2013-05-20 I'm willing to spend about £100-£150, small form factor, and without a optical drive Also I'm not interested in gaming just want a excellent streamer. RE: Please help with a build - cwide - 2013-05-20 Celeron NUC is probably your closest bet for a good experience. Add 2 GB ram and spare USB drive to boot Openelec from. I'm not familiar with UK computer sites, so you might search around for a good deal on a Celeron NUC. http://www.ebuyer.com/447255-mb-boxdccp847dye-ucff-qs77-ddr-1333-nuc-boxdccp847dye RE: Please help with a build - eskro - 2013-05-21 ZOTAC ZBOX ID80 http://compare.ebay.co.uk/like/330923458697?var=lv&ltyp=AllFixedPriceItemTypes&var=sbar&_lwgsi=y&cbt=y plays full 3D 1080P + HD-Audio bitstreaming
