Just ripped all my DVDs to a 1tb hard drive. For lack of a better way to explain myself, what is the easiest way to watch. Them on my tv now without an htpc?
 
Roku, PS3, Xbox... If they are on your PC, you can run Plex, TVersity or other streaming application to those devices (and others, but I have no experience with the others). If you don't have those, the Roku's can be $50 as a refub (Roku 2 HD).
 
Does your TV support DLNA? If so set up something like servio and then bring up that server via your TV. That's what i do, and then i use PLEX for my android devices and watching my stuff streamed out over the web
 
Is it no htpc and no media server? Media server would be Plex, TVersity or Serviio, The basically run on a PC, Plex will run on a NAS with reduced capability, I don't know about the rest. A media server is usually paired with a player like PS3, xbox, roku, WDTV Live, Many Blu-Ray Players and TV's.

The only one that will handle the external drive 'well' stand alone is probably the WDTV.
 
Thanks for all the help. Likely going with a wdtv live. Seems like the easiest route to go. Physical DVD collection was getting a bit much. Thanks guys!
