Hello Friends, I need your help.

I want to purchase a pre-built HTPC which will allow me to do the following:

1. Stream up to 1080p without any stutter from my home network drive in wide variety of file formats
2. Stream DVD iso.
2. Display information pulled from the web about the material on my home network drive
3. Browse the web and stream from websites
4. Have SSD for fast booting up
5. Have a remote control.
6. There is no specific budget. I can spend as much money as needed.

I have seen the XBMC interface online and on some YouTube videos. I would like the HTPC to have XMBC already installed.

I would prefer to do minimum hardware or software related work and would prefer that system has all the capabilities and software already installed, unless absolutely necessary.

Thanks for your help!!

This is what I would buy if i had the money (its really overpriced, but there isn't much competition for pre built htpcs in nice cases.)

Do you want to store stuff on the player or are you going to have a server ?

Ill put you together a machine for $600.00

No I do not want to store anything on the machine. It will be on a network drive.

I can put together one of these with XBMC preloaded and ready to go

Comes with Ethernet, Wifi (but it could be a little slower depending on your wifi network), Remote, HDMI




Let me know what you think ...

I don't think that any of these suggestions can match the price of the fully loaded PC's below.....

This "Lenovo H520s Desktop Computer" very tiny (4"x12") PC is ready for XBMC out of the box......everything included for $350......


Or this "Lenovo H520s Desktop Computer" powerful Intel i5 for $470....with everything included and ready for XBMC out of the box.....
