My modded Xbox finally died today and I'm looking to replace it. About time since I'd like to watch full HD these days.
Now, I know the AppleTV can't do full 1080p without the Broadcom card and I'm fine going that route. However, I also know that the Aspire Revo is better for future proofing and flexibility.
My problem is that until I finish my basement and get my HD20 projector hooked up, I'm stuck using my Mitsubishi 48" HDTV. Unfortunately there's no HDMI input... just component. I'm within a month of having the projector hooked up, so I'd be fine using s-video or even composite (ugh) for that amount of time.
So, is there any way of doing component, s-video, or composite on the Aspire Revo? Is there a better alternative to the AppleTV in the under $300 range (preferably closer to $200).
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
