Hi guys this is my first post here since i just started out using xbmc and i am loving it.
When i first read eskro's thread on the recommended builds , i remembered i had a old apple tv lying around that i didn't use much , so i went ahead and bought the Broadcom crystal HD and installed Sams distro and it works really great but i am having some micro stuttering , i don't know the real reason for the stuttering but i believe that it has to do with the refresh rates or that i am streaming the content over a wired LAN .But it is really almost perfect and i mean almost if it wasnt for the damn micro stuttering.
So basically as the title says i have also in my bedroom my main rig and i have it hooked up to my TV as a secondary display. Whenever i stream any content to the PC it works amazing. But i am encountering some problems here also and the main problem is the noise that comes out of my main rig.
As i see it i have 2 options , the first one is to build a HTPC , or to invest in a really silent case for my main rig i am hearing very good things about the fractal design define R3 .
The price difference would be 120 to buy the case vs 350 or 400 to build a nice and quiet HTPC.
So i am seeking for some advice what do you guys recommend me to do ?
Thanks for the time and i really appreciate your thoughts .
