Hey guys,
Just starting to put together a XBMC system and needed some advice.
Currently my set up is this:
LIAN LI PC-Q07 Black Aluminum Mini-ITX Tower Computer Case
G.SKILL Ripjaws Series 4GB (2 x 2GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 1333 (PC3 10666) Desktop Memory Model F3-10666CL8D-4GBRM
ASUS AT3IONT-I Deluxe Intel Atom 330 PBGA437 NVIDIA ION Mini ITX Motherboard/CPU Combo
LITE-ON Black 4X Blu-ray Reader SATA Model iHOS104-06 - OEM
A-DATA 500 Series AS592S-32GM-C 2.5" 32GB SATA II MLC Internal Solid State Drive (SSD)
This keeps me at 5 cents under 500 which was my budget. Is this a reasonable build for watching 1080p video from a mounted hard drive? I don't have cable, only internet, so no tuner required.
If this is all well and good, which build of XBMC should i try to install? I would like to just boot to XBMC and read media off of either a mounted or networked drive.
Other than that, I'm just curious if this software can easily connect to drives on a Win7 and Mac OSX machine through my wireless connection, and if there are any good FAQs or How To's around that can give me a good explanation of how to set it all up.
Thanks!
