If you're just going for cost and ability to stream pretty much EVERYTHING, I recommend the Popcorn Hour A-100. I love mine. It's not as flashy or user friendly as many of the options out there, but it supports a bunch of streaming protocols (SMB, NFS, HTTP, UPNP AV), plays nearly every video format imaginable (H.264, MPEG-2, DivX, Xvid) in just about any containter (.mov, .mpg, .vob, .iso, .mkv), works as an NAS enclosure, and even has it's own torrent client.

God awful interface, though.

Forgot to mention, it's less than $200. Though you'll have to wait for the next batch.
