    Does anyone own one or have any comments/recomendations for buying one.

    I have a 500+ movie collection thats mostly .avi and would like an easier way of putting them on my tv besides burning them to a disc.

    It needs to hold at least 1TB and I'm willing to pay around 300 if it includes the HDD, otherwise 200.

    I've heard alot of reviews about bad menus and difficulties with playback on some of these.

    If anyone has any experience with these then please share your comments! Thanks, Debo

    I dont know if you can get it where you are but check out the Sumvision Cyclone 3.5" Media Centre Enclosure, it uses 3.5" drives instead of 2.5" so im not sure if it's what you want specifically but it will play Xvid/DivX etc etc
