Is that what you've been working on?
What's that "Phenom ES" in your sig?
It's neat and all, but I don't see your average person using a computer as a media center. The PS3 does it great already, it doesn't have an amp built in like this but I'm pretty sure most people have one.
It might work for your average joe if they make it as simple as possible like eliminating the boot up, eliminate the mouse/kb, etc (I don't think the windows remote would cut it). For a lot of people I know, the last thing they would want in their living room is a computer.

Uh... ever hear of Windows Media Center? Like the one myself and tons of others have in their living room?
Woah, welcome to planet earth!
The PS3 isn't a great htpc because you can't record tv on it. You should check out some of the htpc projects just on these forums. Some people have like 4 tuners with 20TB attached to it for mad recording. I had a linux one running arch linux + mythtv for a long time, but the motherboard died.
Its a very good excuse to spend money on another computer.
AMD sent it to me for my brithday/Christmas present last year.. well my brother - he was in on it too.No, I was working on the recently cancelled Shrike platform.

Start a new thread and tell us what you are working on now..
Electronic Design just reviewed the platform...

...The critical test was the integration with the D-Link Media Center Extender I am testing as well. Setting up the link between it and the AMD Live! PC was a trivial exercise and it worked just fine streaming recorded content on the hard disk to the extender that was connected to another TV.
The real test was running everything at the same time. This included streaming content from the Internet to the PC, recording an HDTV channel in the background, and streaming content from the hard disk to the extender plus running SqueezeCenter for the Logitech SqueezeBox Boom at the same time. The system did not hiccup and it appeared to have plenty of performance left over for servicing even more devices. Talk about multitasking.
...Overall, I can definitely recommend this platform as Windows Vista media PC platform. It will blow away almost anything else except for perhaps custom gaming machines, and it will be easier to use than most alternatives.
...The MS-4240 5.1 100-W amplifier card is easy to use. It has screw terminals for 5 pairs of speaker wire, making hookup easy. It is on par with my amp and receivers I have used in the past. Sound quality with this amplifier and motherboard are top notch.
