Want to build... - Slicster - 2009-10-07
Hey Guys,
I'm a former xBMC with xBOX user and switched about 2 years ago to NMT. As much as I like NMT, I miss xBMC very much so I decided to come back and build a new system with either Linux and xBMC or xBMC Live. I currently have all my videos, music, pictures etc in my office on my workstation. So I basically stream everything from there using network shares. Since I stream, I'm not going to be adding a HDD, rather I'll probably install Linux or Live on a USB Key or onto a small SSD. Here are the components I'm looking to purchase.
ASUS AT3N7A-I MINI-ITX Intel Atom N330 NVIDIA Ion DDR2 GBLAN HDMI Audio BT Motherboard
$174.99 CAD
OR
ASUS AT3GC-I MINI-ITX 954GC Intel Atom 330 DDR2 1PCI Video Sound GBLAN Motherboard
$106.03 CAD
Corsair PC2-5300 2X1GB DDR2-667 240PIN Dual Channel Memory Kit
$47.99 CAD
Apex MI-008 MINI-ITX Case Glossy Black 1X5.25 1X3.5 1X3.5INT Sfx 250W Front Audio USB
$59.06 CAD
Total $284.04 CAD
Will xBMC work well on this system or should I change some of the components. Keep in mind that I'm looking to have good performance at the lowest possible cost. Thanks.

Hi Slicster,
Looks like you want to build this one? Why not take look what it cost's in Canada? Here, in Holland, it sells for about €230,-
I can imagine that it could be cheaper over their.
