Ed_McCarron:
HDMI -> VGA seems to be a potshot - the 'standard' for HDMI calls for analog video to be included on the plug also - but I'm guessing a lot of the cheapo devices are digital only.

Think I'm gonna go with the Aspire Revo and XBMC.  Just gotta wait for a few auctions to end and a deadbeat auction to pay up.

Ed_McCarron:
Well, the Revo came in today.  Took all of 3 minutes to wipe the drive and install XBMC off the live disk.

First thoughts.

Theres a problem with this release - the audio goes garbled on internet audio after a bit.  Unfortunately, XBMC's site and forums are down - server crash.  Will have to live with it for now.

Still no web browser.  I need to do an actual Ubuntu install, install XBMC, and set up Firefox as an external program, I guess.

Slick little package for $200.
