Popcorn Hour A-110 or WDTV for Projector at DVinfo.net

I have seen several posts here regarding both of these media servers and I was wondering what you would recommend for use with my projector.

My projector has the following inputs:

VGA, Composite, Component, S-Video, DVI.

I project onto an 80 inch 4:3 screen from both my VX2000 and my EX1, but I have to use S-Video for lack of another suitable interface.

Would files streamed from the Popcorn Hour A-110 or the WDTV be better suited for that purpose in your opinion? I am sure either one would give me a better image because I can connect it to the DVI input on the projector. Also, does one of them upconvert SD as well by any chance?

I have the WD and I am very impressed at the features for the price. I recommend it.
