Now that I've played with Boxee for some time, I know this software can be an incredible replacement for Cable TV. I would love my parents to switch over to Boxee so they can save a good $60 - $70/month. The question is, what small/low profile computer would be best for Boxee?
From what I can see, the AppleTV and Eee Box seem like good contenders (possibly, depending on hardware) due to their relatively small size. When it comes to price, they're reasonable ($200 for Refurbished 40GB AppleTV and $300 for new 160GB Eee Box). Does anyone have any recommendations small/low-profile for what pre-built systems to use?
(Looking for pre-built systems so that my parents don't have to deal with fixing individual parts from here, there, and everywhere.)
