Media Server with HDMI connection

Anyone know of a media server that connects to a TV via scart or HDMI?

I'm looking for something that'll act like the PS3 media server but has a huge internal hard disk.

The PS3 does a great job, but it requires a connection to a PC and the PS3 to be on, I'd like to omit the PC and PS3 and have the video played off the server itself.

Being able to transfer files from the PC to the media server seamlessly would be great too.

Well you could just put the files on a USB memory stick and shove it in the PS3, then you wont need the PC on. You could also but a larger hard disk for the PS3 if you want to store anything. It would be much cheaper anyway.
