Hi all,
I was thinking about buying a Multimedia Player / HDD Enclosure like this http://www.thinkgeek.com/computing/drives/7b1c/. Basically it's a HDD enclosure (you plug in your own 3.5" IDE HDD) that will take any media on the hard-drive and play it on your TV. You plug it in to your computer via USB2 and suck off any videos (including DVD VOBs, AVIs, DIVx, XVID, etc), music or photos and then hook it up to your TV/Stereo to play them back. Fancier models come with WiFi that allow you to stream or copy files from your computer wirelessly (could be slow). Costs about 100 pounds or $US 200.
Anyway, does anyone know of a NZ-based retailer who sell these or similar devices. I haven't found anything via google, except a trademe sale of an old model. I'd rather not buy from an overseas retailer.
Thanks,
Jonathan
