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.

I keep my computer in my office, and it is run through a router to my ps3, computer is c2duo e8400, 4gb ram. Using ps3mediaserver (java, cross platform, works with xbox if ya fancy), and its flawless, 1080p transcoding with dts/dolby digital, through Denon receiver into sony hdtv, its years beyond running my computer straight into home theater with optical patched into hdmi, always smooth playback unless network is stressed (rarely).
