    Hey guys,
    Im looking to put together an entertainment centre for our flat before the xmas party season kicks in, and i was hoping to get some advice please...

    It must have:
    Scart out (doesnt have to be hdmi as we've only an old crt TV)
    Wireless lan
    Harddrive
    Play DIVX, Xvid, DVDs
    Bluetooth maybe...
    Im not big into games but if it could play games then thats great.

    Im thinking about a few different options:

    Old games console like XBox, Ps2 and modchip it. I had an xbox to do this but it got robbed. These are older so im not mad abot this. good thing is - cheap!

    New games console. xbox 360, wii, ps3 - which is the best option here?
    My mates have a ps3 to do this and its great for parties. Expensive though.

    HTPC - shuttle or something. Will it have scart out though, sound out etc? Noisy expensive? How smooth will it work at parties? I aint gonna be like bill gates in the corner trying to get a tune on, while everyone else is having a laugh...


    Can anyone recommend me an option?
    Thanks guys!
