Axiom Home Page Forums General Discussion Home Theater I think I finally found the right solution

Have a look at the thread I just started: http://www.axiomaudio.com/boards/ubbthreads.php?ubb=showflat&Number=274568

The parts cost about $400, and you'll still need an OS. But it's a lot more flexible than an Apple TV, as it's a full PC, but with the connectivity options you'd want for a home theater.

If you have any questions, ask there, I'll answer.
