I installed a SATA PCI add-on card, added a 500Gb Sata HDD and then installed WinXP (only because Ubuntu does not support 24 bit Display on the old Intel 82815), Windows does though... and then I Installed SesamTV (http://www.sesamtv.com/). It works good, just disabled Animations in the settings. Now its fast and functional. Just make sure to install RealMedia, Flash Player and DX9 the newest. I copied the Shortcut into the Startup Folder and set the Properties to start in Full Screen Mode. Now I have a nice "Free" Media Centre PC... ;-D I think XBMC is the best, specially the Live version, very nice interface and functions, but like REC I have an old Desktop Compaq PC with a very old onboard VGA card and PIII CPU and 256mb ram.

The only issue I ever had with XBMC was my TV Tuner never worked with it. Generally Mythtv has treated me very well, but I tend to only use it as a DVD player and a TV time shifting box.

It just rocks. The report is weak is doesn't point out some of XBMC's core strengths which is the ability to play ISOs without mounting before or extracted Bluray files. Codec support is unmatched.
