My HTPC

[Cube]

Thanks to K. Rudds $$$$. I was able to purchase the rest of the parts of my HTPC. Thought I'd throw up some pictures of it.

Because it uses hardware from my old computer it isn't a beast. But it does just what I want it to do and that's play DVD, Blu-ray, watch TV, pause LiveTV and record TV.

This computer combined with my Z-5500 make a pretty sweet Home Theatre system. I do still need to buy a keyboard with an inbuilt mouse. Other than that she's a beaut.

Hmm, I prefer to use Mediagates (google/wiki it), they are about the size of a mini-itx pc, and they play music movie etc, they are a lot cheaper than making a media pc.
The best media setup in my house is i projector with a really big amp leading to it, which converts all the inputs into the amp to HDMI, so theres only one cable running to the projector, attached to the amp, there is 7.1 surround sound, and the sub-wo0fer is huge. Then going into the amp, there is a mediagate, atteched via network to our 2.5 TB file-server, and a VCR/DVD player, also there is a HD-UHF FreeView reciever attached. (FreeView is NZ's free Digital satalite/HD-UHF TV service.)

<edit> BTW, the projector screen is a 16:9 100 inch screen
