Looking for Cheapest Media Player

[Randell Floyd]

Hoping someone has a solution I havent though of yet.

I'm looking at ways of playing divx/mpeg/xvid etc on my bedroom TV ( Sony WS ).
I have been converting them but it's becoming a drag, so I've been thiking about other ways to do so.

I've heard of modded X-Boxes, Media Players, HTPC etc but I'm not so up to date with the cheapest and best method of doing so?

It will need to be a HDD based as I cannot stream wirelessy.

In about a years time I will be making my current SFF a dedicated HTPC but I need something to fill the time void.

Wouldnt a TV-out card be alot easier?

I just use the tv out on my graphics card to do this.

TV out would work, but I don't think he has the PC in the same room.

Why not get one of the streaming media reciever box thingys. Quite cheep now and come with a wireless card or dongle for your PC.

Some one find him a link, I'm off 't pub...
