Hi all,
I want to try setup a really low powered system to be my Media Server/Streamer.
I am going to install Linux/XBMC on it and it will then stream the movies from my NAS box to the TV.
I will also use it for the DNLA server to stream to my TV in my bedroom when necessary.
I just got a Raspberry Pi that I was hoping I could use for this but the performance on it just isn't good enough and although it works, its very laggy and especially with the 2Gb 1080 files it really struggles.
Just looking for a bare bones system that would be able to do this as cheaply as possible.
Any suggestions?
Thanks!
