Media Player Box for my TV
gonzo90017:
If you're going the linux route try Geexbox download the generator version and create your own live cd. So no need to find another drive. I haven't streamed anything to it yet but I have abou 100 movies in xvid format and they all play fine. My system is a 400mhz celeron with 128mb ram. It does exactly what you wan't to do.

These are pretty good.

I don't think I'm looking to stream anything. I Think what I want to do is have my home PC set up with a drive set to share, and the media PC to use that drive. I can then access the files as if it were local.
The home PC is 20 feet away from my TV. I can use CAT5 with no problems.

I've got lots of RAM laying around. Luckily it takes regular DIMMs.

Good deal.
You're probably actually better off trying streaming - I'm not sure just running something like Media Player with an 800meg file over the network is going to work all that well. By all means try it out and let us know how it goes but there's very likely a reason all this streaming software is out there rather than people just opening up a DivX movie over the network.
