I'm not sure what to do though.  I mean at the moment I play HD stuff on 
the wife's PC running Windows 7 which is plugged into the TV.  It's not 
ideal (i.e. no remote, I have to use the mouse) but it works.

Now I want to get a Bluray player, and I was planning on building a HD 
media centre PC (I had one previously but the motherboard died) and I 
wondered if the original PS3 might be the best option.  Otherwise I 
could look at using the old media centre PC case (it's a HP Pavilion 
Slimline which is a MiniITX case but with an obscure power supply that 
is specific to the HP board), but then I'd need a replacement 
motherboard and PSU (I'm looking at nearly £140 for this).
