Cheap, upgradable PC for media.

24-06-2010 10:43pm#1What the title says. I'm looking for a small HTPC or PC case basically. I'd be happy enough to put it together myself, but it has to run a full Computer OS as I have a fair bit of stuff from a while back which uses obscure and clashing video and audio codecs which I doubt will work on many media players and I'd rather not run the risk of buying something and a lot of my library being unusable. Right now I'm limited to just watching newer AVI files on my Xbox and older ones don't work, as well as a lot of MKVs and OGMs I have. Being able to take at least 4 USBs would be essential as well, the built-in harddrive is really just needed for the Software.
So, any ideas?

Don't want disc playback really. Not that I don't want it as much as I don't want to pay for it because I have plenty of other stuff for doing it. :PJust a suggestion , and also these are most likely non - upgradeable , but they are cheap ,
Have you looked at the Atom 330 ion based pc's ?
They can handle blu ray playback , so should manage any video content you have , and can run W7 no problems. I dont imagine you could do too much multitasking on them , but given the price and your needs it sounds like a good match to me.

These units are small , and can be mounted behind the TV , out of sight !
That does look almost perfect, think I'll download XBMC now and see if it'll play all my crap.Ghost Train wrote: » 0 -

Screws up OGMs and also won't find the subtitles in it. Won't play the subtitles in AVIs with subtitles built in using VOBSub. Ah well, just have to look for something else.
