I've had success with an ER1401 (cost 110 + 15 remote... best value htpc at the time) for my basic HTPC needs running XBMC, 10 bit anime, 1080p and 720p from an unraid server SMB sharing via ethernet wiring.
I need to buy a new HTPC soon for home and I'm after suggestions on any builds UKers have done?
My needs would be mainly:
XBMC 10bit 1080p and 720p
youtube
smooth browsing
fast startup windows 7 (i saw a cheap SSD going on hotukdeals so probably going to snap that up)
silentish
and a nice remote.
are there any prebuilt machines capable of such under the £300 or £250 bracket including a decent remote?
i'm prepared to spend a bit more and either build my system or prebuild if someone could suggest other uses!
thank u!
