tukapa1: I ordered one of these - shipped it with YouShop for about $30NZ - bunged 4GB ram in it and installed openelec XBMC on an SD card and it boots straight to xbmc nice and quick.
Would cost around $300NZ all up including delivery then add the ram for $50 and you've got a full set up for around $350.
Plays full 1080p uncompressed blu-ray rips over the network easy.

mclean: Looks good. Did you have to do anything to run it on 230V?

kiwijunglist: ^ if your thinking of that, have a look to see if they have an e450 with dual slot ram. not sure how single slot would cope with 1080i, but dual slot would cope fine.

kiwijunglist: 1080i = interlaced video. Blurays are 1080p (progressive). Also you mean full size uncompressed high bitrate bluray rips. 1080i is used in FreeviewHD.
So what I was saying is that if he intends to watch freeviewHD he should be safe, and try to find an e450 motherboard that takes dual channel (2slot) ram (assuming they are similar price).
PS. All video on blurays are compressed, if it was uncompressed it would be several about 1.5TB in size and you would need 30 dual layer blurays to store a 2.5 hour movie :)
