I've got an Acer Aspire Idea 510, looks very similar to a DVD player. Fantastic piece of kit as has input for everything you could imagine, including HDMI, two scart sockets, lots of pohono in and out sockets etc.
However I don't think it's very quiet at all and I certainly haven't put mine near the TV for that reason.
other than the noise though I love it. Looking at selling mine if your in the UK.

MarkI am using an Acer Veriton 1000 PC with Windows XP Pro. It is one of the little desktop models, not much bigger than a DVD player. It is very quite, certainly quieter than one of the large towers.BarbaraGet listed, network or find a business at an online directory of businesses owned and run by disabled people and associated support and advisory organisations:www.barkingbabs.co.uk----- Original Message ----- From: "Mark Threadgold" <m.j.threadgold@xxxxxxxxxxxx>To: "accessuk list" <access-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Wednesday, December 31, 2008 9:00 AM Subject: [access-uk] Media pc recommendationsHi all.

Any recommendations, please?
