Does anyone sell complete HTPC's?

I know of no reason why you couldn't play the games across the network. I haven't tried to do that. I run the games locally, simply because until recently my mame cabinet was not part of the wireless network. And I'm mostly playing NES and SNES games, and we're not talking large file sizes there. It's easier just to transfer the files to the htpc hdd. :D

So you want to stream movies and play games.

that is all.

$40 to stream content isn't bad. How is the 360 at running retro-emulators, though?

I have a 360 and an HTPC in my great room, connected by an HDMI hub to the projector, so I currently use both systems for what they're best at, but I'm still curious about how far you could push a 360 to being a media center.

Not big on playing Xbox/PS3 games.  I'm pretty much exclusively into retro gaming so buying an Xbox just seems like a waste of hardware to me  :dunno

However, I would love the idea of copying over my NES games to my HTPC, buying a wireless controller of some kind and playing them on this computer.  I wonder though could you access those games through XBMC?  Or would I have to access them through the emulator?  I would prefer to be able to access the games without using a keyboard?
