Serviio

Hi

I have recently been using Serviio with my laptop and it has worked great! I let my mum and dad use it when i went home on their Sony Bravio (2009) edition and it also worked great! and they wanted it in their home.

So i tried to setup Serviio on an old laptop they had lying around but the .avi files would stop and start... think the laptop was to old for transcoding/encoding (not sure what you guys call it but i mean the process it does to make .avi files play on Sony tv).

So iv been trying to find a cheap computer for under £100 to buy my dad for his birthday with the sole purpose of running Serviio on so that he can watch his movies and such. I had a look on amazon and found the computers linked below and was wondering if anyone could tell me if they have the specifications needed to do the transcoding/encoding of files so that they will play on the Sony Bravio tv. Also if none are any good, could somebody post me a link to one that is and is also a reasonable price thanks

Option 1: http://www.amazon.co.uk/Dell-OptiPlex-7 ... s=computer

Option 2: http://www.amazon.co.uk/Dell-OptiPlex-7 ... s=computer

Option 3: http://www.amazon.co.uk/Wireless-Enable ... s=computer

i think all 3 are capable to transcode... but all 3 have small HD... storage is most important,

i have harddrives lying around i can use plus also thinking about getting a network harddrive kind of thing

But thanks a lot for letting me know that they all work... do you have an idea which one is best?
