HTPC

i have what we call a "i-landsproblem" in sweden, at home.

we got ourselves a nice big tv yesterday and now i want to retire the old mac mini G4 who served as GUI for the old, smaller tv.

what i want is an interface that looks good on a tv and is maneuverable with only a wireless mouse. all the files are served from two 1TB external iomega drives connected to a HP 2510p laptop, running windows 2008 enterprise edition.

the candidates are:
  1. Mac mini G4 1.4Ghz with 512MB RAM
  2. HP 6210s, 2Ghz Celeron with 1GB RAM
  3. Asus EeePC 901, 1,6Ghz intel atom with 2GB RAM

i think i am going to start by testing xbmc under linux on the HP 6210s.
