While we at OSNews often talk about desktops, laptops, and netbooks, there is another "form factor" which is making inroads into various households: the home theatre PC, or HTPC. There are a lot of software packages out there that will aid in turning a computer into an HTPC, and since I've been testing three of them extensively over the past months, I figured we'd talk about what you use.

zotac dualcore atom 1.6ghz ubuntu + xbmc.
it's kind of the perfect setup cheap small quiet and can play 1080p with the help of vdapu.
Mostly trying to find the perfect controller.
using the ps3 bd remote for now but it's not perfect under linux yet, so i will get a xbox 1 wireless remote or maybe just a good bluetooth keyboard and im hoping that a good web browser will get integrated into xbmc soon
