Old Slow Mac Mini that are or can be made equivalent of Apple TV 1 + Crystal HD? XBMC

Old Slow Mac Minis that are or can be made equivalent of Apple TV 1 + Crystal HD? I love my ATV1 + Crystal HD XBMC setup. A Mac Mini that can be made or is equivalent of ATV1 + Crystal HD? I am wondering which Mac Mini (how old or new of a Mac Mini Model) could do the same / be equivalent with or without the Crystal HD? Which of the older Mac Minis (with or without Crystal HD) can work as well as at HTPC Group 3 EQUIVALENT as per Eskro's rating system i.e. ATV1+Crystal HD Card? Something less powerful or not as new but EQUIVALENT to play the Group 3 stuff would be good enough. So which MacMini hardware can it go down to? How far down the Mac Mini line can we go? --- Quote: Originally Posted by eskro Group #3 * HDTV possess HDMI ports * wants to play SD movies (DivX, XviD) * wants to play DVD movies * wants to play 720P movies * wants to play 1080P movies * wants to stream 1080P Hulu content Best Served By? * AppleTV1 + Broadcom Crystal HD (sole way for playing 1080P via purely Component HDTV's) (Hulu requires Bluecop's XBMC Hulu add-on or the use of a Linux distro) HTPC / MEDIA PLAYING - GROUP CATEGORIES as per ESKRO From which Group do you belong!? - XBMC Community Forum The objective is to be as powerful as this for playing movies from a NAS.
