Wasn't sure where to post this, so mods feel free to move.

I currently have a old/crappy HTPC with an external HD that I use to watch divx movies. I download the movies to my good office PC, copy the file across the network to the external HD on the crappy HTPC and then watch the flick.

I now have a XBOX360 hooked up to my TV so I'm thinking I can ditch my crappy HTPC. I figure I have 3 options if I want to ditch the HTPC:

1)Physically connect the external HD to the good office computer, copy the movie over, connect the HD to the XBOX 360 and watch

2)Connect the external HD to the office PC and use TVseritry or one of those programs to stream across the network

3)Purchase a NAS, have it sit on the network and stream to the XBOX360.

The network is wireless N, but I could connect the NAS via ethernet to the router if I need to.
