Well, you can’t turn your PC into a Windows Media Center extender. The only current available extender on the market is the Xbox 360 and it has somewhat limited support with respect to container and codec support. If you can play by its rules, you can have a good experience, otherwise, it will be limiting.
There are some discontinued extenders from D-link, Linksys, HP, etc.
Ceton announced at CES that they will be bringing an extender named “Echo” to the market. You can read more about it here. Fair warning, I am employed by Ceton.
With that being said, I guess the decision you need to make is whether you want to invest in the extender architecture or keep the multi-PC architecture you have.
