Mine runs xbmc on a pretty low spec PC which I put together (although this included some odds and ends I already had such as case and power supply) for less than $250.
Got it
Xbox and PlayStation bad mmmmKay
My new design is going to be without TV capture card and Foxtel
New Question.
Do I let my Media Centre PC connect to the NET or my main PC to transfer files, and If I do? Do I need to run a Anti-Virus program on my Media Centre PC. Or will the Anti-Virus program impact on media playing?

from what i hear the Sony console will be a better option than the X-box - particularly for gaming - it has none of the ridiculous restrictions Microsoft have put on the xbox regarding second hand games etc...and the playstation will be second gen bluray so should be a more robust media centre.
yeah it would seem so.
microsoft now needs to come up with something much better than halo.
