<span>my</span> friend used to have precisely what you want. I think it even had networking. However I can't for the life of me remember what it's called, it was basically a HDD enclosure with a busybox system, basic gui, remote control... played mp3s, wma, mpg, avi etc... From what I recall it cost him 30 quid without a HDD from the Computer Fair at Trentham (before Trentham got stopped...) I will text him later for the name (not a chance he's awake now) and report back when I get to Dundee again tonight. I believe what he used it for was watching videos in his car...<br>

I have been roaming the Internet (and shops) the past few weeks to find a device (which should be small and thereby light in size) which can have a hdd attached to it and has a scart output. I want to be able to have this device plugged into my tv, and that i can play videos (and maybe music) to my tv (if its network then its a big ++). I want this device to be portable (i.e. backpack).<br>
Item which are not quite what i want <br><br>(chipped) XBOX - cheap but still heavy <br>(linux on PS2)-not as cheap as XBOX but still heavy <br>(linux on PS2 slim) - difficult to implement (hdd needs to be hacked, IDE cable soldered on board -am not too competent with soldering)<br>
<a href="http://www.gp2x.co.uk/" target="_blank">GP2X.co.uk</a> - very nice (especially with the usb hub) but no scart so could mean it wont happen on some TVs<br><br><br>thanks<br><font color="#888888">tim<br><br>
