I've been running Plex on a Mac Mini hooked up to my TV as an HTPC, but moving into a new house I'm thinking about buying 1 or 2 of these devices to access my growing library of movies (some HD).
I can't decide if I want to keep my video/audio files on the Mac Mini and stream from there or if I want to get a new HDD and attach it to a Dune/PCH or something like that. I'm running cat5e in the walls and have a gigabit switch so bandwith in the house shouldn't be an issue, but I've never used a network like this and it seems like many of you have had good results.
On the HT TV, I will definitely want a STB that can play 1080p, and while I would like the same ability in a bedroom TV, price is a consideration.
Any suggestions or thoughts?
EDIT: I do have a 360 on the HT TV as well.
