Building a Media Centre PC/PVR

im using a dvi to hdmi cable for the video and a digital toslink cable from the spdif port on the mainboard to my pioneer av unit. i used to do a bit of encoding on this pc and also the odd game. im gonna be investing in a bluray writer aswell so may be encoding 1080p files and you dont wanna be doing that on owt less than 2.6 gig core 2 duo like or itle take donkeys, be slow as fuck on this chip anyway but even worse on owt lower.

and do what always said, cut the shielding on the power wire that goes from the jumpers on ya board to the case power button, usually black and red with a + and - on so you dont go wrong, feed the wires out the back of the case with plenty of free wire and clip it to an empty pci slot cover. wire the ends to a push button switch like always said and jobs good. gowansys fathas done a canny trick by linking the power button on one of the dimmer switches to the projector so that particular action turns the projector on and off.

@ always, having a bit play with media browser now mate, aint had a go since the old one. was impressed with win 7 mce like vast improvement on xp/vistas.
