whatever you decide, you should buy monster brand cable to hook it all together
OK! Does this make sense!
I want to take http://www.lacie.com/products/product.htm?pid=11053 and have it hard wired to my router and then connected to this via usb. I have a 1080p version of Total Recall and I'm sick of not being able to watch it. the 360 is a weak ass medial player... Time for a change.
I'm not dealing with swapping cables every time I want to manage the files on the HD is this the solution?
My other idea was a Time Capsule because of the MobileMe integration, but I don't think I'd be able to connect it to the WDTV. Anyone have any insight/experience?

Quick trying to hack shit together and just make an HTPC. Otherwise don't bother.
Do you already have the WD? If not, you can get the networked version of a popcorn hour, and skip that ethernet dealy.
I looked into the cost vs benefit of a HTPC and I feel like, for me, this hacked shit is the best way to go. I WILL NOT build a computer anyway. I've become the typical macintosh user over the past four years and I can't be bothered with that buying/building/troubleshooting suckathon anymore. I can't justify the cost of a prebuilt HTPC at the moment, and I don't need/want to play games or internet on my tv.I totally forgot about popcorn hour. Thanks! I feel like this is the winning answer.
Yeah, the WD has everything else going for it, especially cost/compatibility but they really need to make a networked version.
