external hard drive? I have a huge collection of DVDs and high resolution .mpeg files (720p and 1080p). I would like to buy a large external HDD (maybe 3 TB) and get a media player which would allow me to store and play all my files on my HDTV. Here's what i'm looking for:

Musts:
- Full 1080p support
- DTS audio codec support
- play .mpeg, .vob, .avi, divX, .mp3
- connect to an external HDD
- Be able to play files larger than 4 gb. My understanding is that FAT32 players have this limitation.
- I can't stand really loud fans while I'm watching movies.

would love it if it could:
- take my large dvd library, store each movie as an .iso, .vob or other type file and upconvert to 1080p for my HDTV. Right now I have an Pioneer upscaling DVD player but I would love to go discless without losing any video quality
- could play .mkv files
- had bit torrent support
- wireless capability - stream from laptop

So far, the best two I've found seem to be:
- HD Digitech HDX 1000 Network Media Tank NMT 1080p HD H.264 MKV Player
- Popcorn Hour A-110


Any recommendations for other units or thoughts on these?

Also, any recommendations for a large (2 TB or bigger) external HDD?

Thanks so much guys!

Thanks
