The htpc would work well for my wife to navigate I suppose. I am assuming those htpc's don't have windows loaded. And it looks like I would have to add a wireless nic for it.

You mean the first with the 650w psu?
Well, the vid card and controller on the htpc make it enticing. I, hopefully, won't have to keep explaining to my wife how it works like I would if it was a pc.Last edited by mstng86; 11-29-2010, 04:24 PM.

What all are you wanting to stream? I would suggest picking up a bluray player that has DLNA capabilities. I just put a Sony BDP-S370 in our bedroom and it will stream any files off my PC and also hooks up with my PlayOn media server. It also has a handful of apps available (Netflix, Amazon VOD, Hulu Plus, Pandora, Slacker, etc...). I paid $90 for it. WAAAAAAY cheaper than even the most basic HTPC.
Outside of being able to browse the internet, it does 95% of what people with HTPC's want to do with them.
