Hi, Guest
FS had a decent Revo on sale, $299.
Decent little boxes for playing video, internet surfing etc on your TV, includes a bracket to mount on the back of the monitor.
Runs VLC and SageTV really well.
I have a P4 2Ghz I am using for the same application as you. The single core really bogs down when surfing the internet, the rest of the time (streaming network video) it's OK.
I also recommend the Asus AGP video cards, I have one loaded into this box. It really helped on the performance side, and gave me the DVI & component connectors I needed. Bought through Canadacomputers for $45 I believe.
What about loading a smaller OS, or Linux or dedicated program like Mediaportal that'll lift the Windows sludge off the box.
