anything he wants, it hooks via USB and can be probabily intercepted by girder

rolo said:Just finished putting together my Media Center box:
Intel Pentium 4 3.0E CPU
Zalman CPNS7000A-Cu CPU heatsink/fan
Asus P4P800-SE motherboard
512MB DDR400 Kingston memory
Sapphire ATI Radeon 9600 Pro + DVI-to-Component adapter
Sound Blaster Audigy 2
Seagate 160GB SATA
16x Sony DVD, silver colored
Microsoft Optical Desktop Pro (kb + mouse)
Wireless 802.11g
Antec Overture case
Windows XP Media Center Edition 2004
Running at 720p
Hauppauge PVR-250MCE is on its way (ordered separately due to enormous pricing difference)
The TV is a Sony KV34HS510: it's a 34" HDTV monitor. Perfectly sized for my preferences, and it supports every single HD resolution.
Now I need to get a sound system.

kronchev said:thats MCE running? looks JUST like meedio, at least the skin I'm using. I might have to swap OSes for that since it has the mini video preview thing
rolo said:I doubt meedio looks nearly as nice as MCE, which uses Direct3D to nice effect Plus, doesn't meedio lack TV? Btw that video in the lower left isn't a preview, it's a real DVD that's playing. Nice to be able to jump around the UI without stopping whatever it is you're playing / watching.
If you have a Hauppauge card give me a PM and "we'll talk"Zuht said:Do the front A/V inputs work?
There was a girder plugin written for it but I don't know how far the development has come, Griffen was suppose to release an SDK for it but agian I have no idea if they have yet. I do hear that the software for it is pretty robust and can be programmed for "application profiles" or something like that. I still have yet to pick one up for "testing" though.kronchev said:anything he wants, it hooks via USB and can be probabily intercepted by girder
kronchev said:well..yeh. i really need a copy

I use UltraVNC to control the unit from my main PC.
You can see the top of the HTPC in the bottom left hand side of this picture, it is the case under the desk with the kb sitting on top of it,
What's up with the Britney Spears poster??? That's not very [H]ard
enforcer17 said:What's worse is he took the extra time / money to actually frame them
enforcer17 said:Actually the DVI connector on newer HDTVs are not meant for use with computers. You'll see it stated in all the manuals. If you notice, on a video card, there are four extra pins that are not on the DVI connector for a TV.
You can get a component converter thingy from ATI's website which will display much crisper picture then S-Video / Composite

YanN1ck said:Don't some of the newer plasmas have rotating pixels to prevent burn-ins?
emorphien said:good crap man, if you've got a 50" plasma screen, get some better speakers!
JackieO said:Sort of - what they do is shift every pixel to the left/right/up/down for a couple seconds at a specified time the user selects if he is worried about burn-in.
