Having seen the quality of the XBMC system I'm planning on building a system based around the Acer Revo, but have a couple of questions.
As Windows has such a large CPU overhead I'm planning on installed either the Live or Linux versions of XBMC, using a 30GB solid state disk. Does the Live & Linux versions support the Microsoft MCE remote control, I already own one and would like to re use it.
Will this configuration perform OK, I'm planning on connecting to my TV using just HDMI connection, and will stream HD content directly from my NAS using wired 100Mb network connection. I've built a very basic system and I'm able to stream the HD content across my Wifi network and it was just OK so wired will be perfect.
I'm really just trying to ensure I've not missed the obvious.
Thanks
