So finally got round to a new TV, Panny 42PX80, should be here by end of week.
Will be looking at getting a surround set and amp.
Now I currently have a 360, possibly getting a ps3 for BR.
Im looking to store DivX and such somewhere that can be accessed on the network. Was looking at a 1TB WD World NAS box, but apparantly they only sustain 4mb/s.
So will a 360/PS3 do everything I need?
Or do I need to mash together some bits and pieces for a HTPC.
I was also looking at pickin up an old dell SX pc due to its size.
Other option is to get a HTPC case and pop in a loada old bits and pieces.
Is there anything specific I would need in order to play HD and surround sound from a HTPC? Specific sound card? gfx?
Will the Ps3/360 stream from a NAS box or do they need to be via a PC?
Anything specific amp wise? Lookin at a few of the Denons they seem decent enough entry level.
Any help appreciated
