xbmc on xtremer pro?

priamida · 2010-10-14 14:33

Hello,

I'm looking for an inexpensive platform to run xbmc as a dedicated media player and thought about getting a xtreamer pro. Is it possible to install xbmc on it? If that means wiping out the HD contents and installing a Linux distro, I'm very comfortable with that but I was worried about the hardware and its compatibility

Thanks in advance

Not possible.

Damn, it looked so sleek.. and cheap
Any other recommendation in the $100 range?

Your best bet, at that price, would be a used Xbox. I don't think those can handle HD content on them though. Otherwise, you're looking at $300ish for an ION nettop that'll run it great.

Hmmm... I want HD so maybe I'll just have to shovel the extra $$$ for the ION. Very sleek looking too, I have to admit

Ok, I'm leaning now towards the Foxconn nT300i
It seems to have everything I need. Any good/bad experiences with it?

buy it, stick 2GB of RAM and a small SSD inside, install newest live build, and live happily ever after.
