Hi everybody,
after a lot of thinking I decided that the best option for me to enjoy a media player and install XBMC is to get a net top.
Apparently this is the only sure thing I have in mind.
Considering that I am not expert enough to build my own machine I was thinking to buy a neetop ready to use.
My first choice would be Asus EB1503 but I am not sure it is powerfull enough for my needs.
For instance, what I want to do with my net top would be:
connect via wifi to my imac, browse folders and play everything I have in my HD, MKV, SD, HD, everything.
Then I would love to use xbmc as my media center, playing content stored in the machine HD (asus, so far) or playing content stored in a 2.5 hd that I already own and that I will connect via usb to the net top.
I would also like to use hulu to stream content, SD and HD if possible. I know that this service is only working in the USA, but I know that there are ways to bypass this problem.
This is pretty much what i need from a net top. Asus EB1503 should be able to do it plus I should be able to watch bluray.
If you have any suggestion about alternative net top that I should consider feel free to let me know. I am still in the research phase and I don't want to spend money on the wrong hardware.
Thank you in advance.
