I have a custom made HTPC with Kodi and Steam. It's got a 750ti and an i3. Pretty good at games. TV is a 40 inch LED LCD, and the surround amp is 725 watts with two 100 watt subwoofers.

What's the cheapest way to stream media from my PC to a television downstairs?

I was using my X360 and XBMC but windows 10 doesn't support it and my X360 is being temperamental all of a sudden.

Thinking about a Chromecast but not sure of the quality of wireless streaming and mkvs are apparently dodgy on it.

Why don't you retards just buy a smart tv?

Not when you have enough random computer parts to throw one together. It also functions as my home server, eventually going to store it in a closet and stream to the TV.

Why not? They make those stupid little boxes obsolete. A laptop can stream wirelessly to multiple TVs at once and streamline all your media, just like a roku. And it also has the added benefit of being an actual PC.

How do you like having two subs? I've been considering buying a second BIC F12 for a while.
>>
>>70609806
They're only 100 watts a piece, so they're not super loud.
3D sound in something like GTA 5 or FO 4 is awesome when you get that low rumble effect. Action scenes in movies feel a little more visceral.

Smart tvs are limited and have shitty CPUs and GPUs, not to mention that they are all botnets.
You can buy an android or windows box with great specs for around 50€, unlike a smart tv you can do whatever you want with a tv box, it has nothing to do with being poor.

Why would you download media to a laptop instead of your NAS, media server or any box that runs 24/7?

SmartTV's are garbage for housewives. You get a dumb display and an Android box or RasPi3 and that's it.

The only cord I need is the ethernet cord attaching my torrent server to my router.

Only retards and poor people actually hook up their laptops to their TV these days.

I'm in a tiny student apartment but managed to put a 105" projected image in a 3x4m room. At 50 degrees FoV, it's a little much for TV shows but movies work well. I wish IMAX would hurry up and release their 3D productions on Blu-ray
