What would be the absolute cheapest standard definition hard-drive media player available? Dont need any bells and whistles beyond DIVX/XVID playback and standard composite outs. Basically its just hooking up to a monitor in the wheelhouse of a boat. Would go the XBMC route except for its size.

Can anybody point me in the right direction? Anybody have one they want to get rid of?

I got one for about $40 without a drive. I did have to do a little searching for the best price. I cannot recall what site I actually got it on, however. It will play about anything, and even has a remote.

Thanks for the link Eldron. Was able to parlay that into finding it on Ebay from a seller in Los Angeles. Less than $30 too. Just what I was looking for.

Thank you!
