Media HDD with display?

cormie

Hi,
I'm looking for something like this http://www.amazon.com/Mvix-Wireless-Media-Center-MX-760HD/dp/B000LLH86W (although no need for wifi) with a big enough HDD and a display that could be used for browsing albums and playing music from with ease, so it could be hooked up to some multimedia speakers and then also, it could be hooked up to a tv for watching AVI films with or whatever too if possible

Any help appreciated

archos 605 has a 120GB HD, plays and records to TV

Thanks for the suggestion. Bit too pricey though. Is there any "non portable" solutions, perhaps with a bigger HD and that has an audio out for music, and then a video out to hook up to a tv I wonder?

Just a quick question with that Freecom device....
I already have an external harddrive with loads of stuff on it. If i got the drive in kit could i hook up my external hard drive to with without using the wlan feature.

Thanks for the suggestion, but it doesn't have any display on the unit itself so for browsing music it'd be a bit of a nightmare if it was just connected to a set of speakers

Is this what you are looking for ?

The ones with screens tend to be more expensive, I have one I got from ebay without a screen and it works great, try ebay maybe aswell just search Hard Drive media player

Hmm, I like the idea of the PSP with the external HD, but the PSP is a bit overkill for just a browser. I know before an iRiver H120/H140 was modded to be able to attach a 3.5hd to it, maybe I'll go that route although that doesn't have a video out option. The one you linked to evil clown is a bit pricey and doesn't look like you'd be able to actually browse through folders on that display
