I'm just getting into backing everything up and I'm learning.
So far I'm using HandBrake and DVD Decrypter. I should have done this a LONG time ago (as in before the discs were scratched/broken by the kids).
Anyways, I'd like to set it up so that I don't need my DVD player anymore. Am I best off putting an actual PC near my display in the living room or should I get a box of some sort?
I'd like to do the following:
-Play from "My Videos" over the network
-Play from the Internet (Browsers)
-Have the ability to play games (emulators and otherwise)
I'm thinking an actual HTPC is the best bet, but not knowing whats out there I'm curious to know if I'm on the right track.
