Re: XBox As A Media Centre
I must admit I have been wondering for a while if it would be cheaper and more stable to have a standard PC case based media server running MCE networked to an Xbox 360 as a media centre solution. As I see it there could also be other upsides like:
- No need to worry about an expensive DVD codec as the Xbox does all that.
- No need for a high end graphics card as it would only be for maintence on a normal monitor
- No need for the M$ remote just the Xbox one.
- No need for fancy cooling elements to keep the noise down.
- Cheaper case
- Dont need to get standby working as it inst in the lounge and can just be left running all the time.
What other advantages are there?
I wonder what else could be chucked out but I reckon you could probably pull together a media server quite cheaply? But would it be cheaper once you add in the Xbox?
