Does that remote turn on the pc? Not that bad I guess. But onboard Geforce 8200? I doubt games will look as good as the ps3. How much was windows though, and link?
I guess free if you use linux, but linux isn't exactly user friendly at all...plus consider having to put this rig together, install dirvers, etc. All that trouble and you could of just bought a ps3
I have no clue if the remote turns the pc. Google.com might have some more information for you.
Here is the link for the OS.
Who said anything about gaming? You said and I quote:
PS3 is the best media center out.
You said nothing about gaming. And just an example from Wiki.
Typically, complete media centers offer the following functions to the user:
* Integration of all forms of media, entertainment and communication functions including TV-reception (analogue TV, DigitalTV via terrestrial-, cable-, satellite-, IPTV-, webTV-networks), broadband Internet access, radio, IP-telephony, video-telephony, e-mail etc. into one common user friendly GUI (graphical user interface) controlled with a remote control or wireless keyboard by the family members typically in the living room
* Ability to receive digital media files (via direct video signal, computer network or USB)
* Ability to store digital media (usually on a standard computer hard disk drive)
* Ability to play back digital media through standard television or hi-fi equipment
* Simplicity (compared to a computer equipped to accomplish transfer, storage and TV/hi-fi playback)
* Cost savings (compared to a computer equipped to accomplish transfer, storage and TV/hi-fi playback)
* Portability (compared to a computer equipped to accomplish transfer, storage and TV/hi-fi playback)
