    Best Freesat Box?

    How about something left field - Wetek Play AV Forums - Wetek Play Not a plug and play option - more bleeding edge - but with Enigma2 recently added it should be interesting - just over £100 The best deal I've seen recently - Xtrend ET8000 - £159 I run the older XTrend ET9000 - again, takes a...

    ***The Official Sony Xperia Z Thread ***

    I've got a Galaxy S3 at the moment but I'm fed up with the MicroSD failing issues. Is this a worthy upgrade? I guess its too early to know if there are any MicroSD issues with the Xperia Z, but is there enough of an upgrade from an S3 or should I wait for the S4?

    Dell Optiplex 755 Xbmc ?

    If you are going to run XBMC in linux/native, then go for the Nvidia card - better driver support and support for HD Sound. See here. If its hosted on Windows - then either will do. I had a 755 a few years back and found it difficult to find a passive cooled graphics card that could fit in the...

    Alienware m14x

    Have a look at dmxdimension - if you use the 10% off code, pick the most expensive one and spec it up with the details you've given you can get it down to £1556 (with 16GB instead of 12GB and a KillerNic). I'd probably avoid the upgrade to Windows 7 Ultimate (£120) - get the Windows 8 Pro...

    Satellite TV HTPC - Help

    You are looking at £70+ just for a card - something like a TBS 6981. By the time you've bought the rest, you will need to have doubled your budget. The quality will never touch a Vu+ Duo or a DM8000 - been there, done that. You would spend most of your time playing and configuring rather than...

    AMD Fusion in an M350 case.

    What about a Zotac Z-Box ADO2 (ZBOX-AD02-B)? Just add your own SSD and RAM. They go for £170-190.
