HTPCentric #10: XBMC, Mac Minis and Other Scary Stuff!

Dec 13, 2010 by

htpcfinalWe have a great show for you this month and that’s really all there is to say!  While the notes here won’t be long, the show is chock full of great info.  Not just for listeners out there but for Jere and I as well.

This month we’re joined by Attila Giber.  Attila is an HTPCentric listener who felt that we sold XBMC short last month when we stated that it wasn’t HTPC software.  After hearing his description of his setup and how he uses not only XBMC but other applications as well, I have to say I agree.  We sold the software short and hopefully this month’s show makes up for it.  Enjoy!

    I’ve been thinking of getting a Mac Mini to use as a Windows Media Center computer, largely because the specs are so nice. In the show, you mentioned, that the Dell Zino computers aren’t up to the job, since they contain Atom processors. I’ve been researching these, too, and I see that they have a model that uses a Phenom Quad core. Have you done any research on these machines with this spec? Presumably, that should make a pretty capable HTPC.
