Well.. I've come to the conclusion that my only real reason for building a HTPC is to play DVDs and encoded video types. I've noticed some set top players can play DivX and can be had for a really reasonable price. For example: this Philips. (web order only)
Another contender is this JVC. It costs a bit more but can be found in B&M.
Think I'm going to make a disc of a hodgepodge of content and see BestBuy will let me try out the JVC just for kicks.
My quesitons are - (If you've used one) what was your experience with a set top Divx player? What disapointments and positives have you had with it? With the limited selection that is out there, what unit would you recomend?
