HTPC with Kinect support
#1
Hi,

I am quite impressed by Kinect controlling XBMC. If I understand, I need Windows OS to do that (or am I wrong?).

So, basically, I want buy HTPC, install Windows on in, install Kinect and enjoying it.

I am located in Europe, I want buy ready HTPC, so I am thinking about

I am not sure, which brand is good to buy in Europe, if somebody got some suggestions (pixmania ?), please let me know.

Forget about it, there are no skins optimized for use with Kinect.
It'd be a pain in the ass navigating through XBMC's menus.
Though I like the idea.

Agreed. The project is very much a work in progress, and is not recommended for general use.

Kinect and 1090p playback, that is quite an upgrade! Smile There are literally hundreds of threads in this forum asking which HTPC to buy. Please read them (start with the guides from Poofyhairguy and Eskro) and please don't start a new thread about your build unless it's really unique from the dozens of other ones.
