Please help me decide on a media streamer
I'm looking at replacing my current HTPC with a media streamer for various reasons and I was wondering if anyone could help me choose one. Here's what I'm looking for:
1) At least 2 USB ports (I intend to connect a 4 bay external drive thing, as well as an "empty" thermaltake drive hub to insert and remove drives).
2) It should be quiet
3) It should be able to play my backup files (mostly 720p x264, divx/xvid, mpeg-2, vc-1/h264, if possible a few 1080p x264)
4) It should have a large remote (as large as, for example, Microsoft Media Center remote).
5) It should be able to connect to Netflix via a wired DSL connection (I'd prefer it to be able to dial a PPPoE connection itself as my router's in "dumb" mode, but if I have to I'll configure my router properly).
Any ideas?
