Hi
Ive been a XBMC user since it was first developt for the xbox. Ive been using a old setup running XBMC Live. Now im looking to upgrade. Ive read alot of posts and seem to be more confused then when i began. The setup i want to build needs to play Full Hd 1080p, MTS files and Avchd the hard stuff. I have all my media on 6x2TB HD running on another computer( i use smb).I use optical/coax for sound(dont realy care if i get sound over hdmi or not i actual want optical/coax for my amp) and hdmi for video. My present setup works fine for everything but drops frames on MTS files and some flv files i get no sound (bird sample drops no frames) also its a bit laggy some time its just reached its age. I use XBMC for videos and music, maybe some times some youtube but not much. Note i dont care about noise or power consumption All i want is small size and i dont want to have to tweak linux. basicly plug and play.So what i was looking at is as follows:
-Full HD 52inch LG LCD (have)
-XBMC Live (latest)
-Asus AT5IONT-I
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.as...6813131663
-Corsair CMSO2GX3M1A1333C9 2GB PC-10600 (1333MHz) 204-pin SO-DIMM DDR3 RAM, non ECC, unbuffered, CL9-9-9-24,
-2.5" HD (dont care for ssd to costly for what you get but yeah) (have)
-IR6 receiver with logitech universal remote (have)

http://cgi.ebay.com.au/LOGITECH-HARMONY-...45f703a6de
-Case M350 Universal Mini-ITX (enclosure not sure yet)

-PSU not sure what the min would be but maybe
picoPSU-120 + 60W Adapter Power Kit if enough
