Streaming mkv files

[tinpanalley]

Hey all,

I use my laptop and my PS3 for video streaming via my home network for content on my computer tower. I'm having a problem because my laptop setup (via USB to DVI adapter) doesn't have the juice to run mkv files smoothly and the PS3 doesn't recognize the file format.

Which of the streaming media devices out there can handle mkv smoothly streamed from my tower for the lowest price? Or perhaps is it best to just convert those mkvs to a format that the PS3 can stream smoothly?

Any advice and expertise would be awesome, guys. Thanks!!

(P.S. I can give you more details about why the laptop solution is too choppy but thought it was too much detail for this initial post.)
