my main project

chris37130 · 2008-08-10, 14:38

i believe all i'll have as an upgrade now is more hard drives. over all i've dished out $3000 for my parts on this project.
i did try mp 1.0 rc 2 but had a few issues so i rolled back to mp 0.2.3.0

amd 3500+ socket 939 90nm
asus a8n sli mobo
kingston 1 gb duel channel ddr kit 3200+
2 XFX GeForce 7600 GT XXX Edition PCI Express 256MB GDDR3
dvd 18x cd 48x combo drive
2 80mm fans
2 120mm fans
Coolmax CX-400B 400W Silent Switching Power Supply w/120mm Silent Fan (Black)
2 500gb hdd
1 400gb hdd
2 320gb hdd
1 300gb hdd
generic black case mid tower
mce remote & receiver
wireless mouse

i am using s-video out to my 27'' flat crt tv

now what's running
windows xp pro sp3
combined community codec pack
mediaportal 0.2.3.0
dragon skin

to note i tried all sorts of media center apps. i liked the idea of microsoft mce but to many problems/not enough customization. i then tried sagetv, i stuck with powercinema for the longest time till i found media portal. the best feature i love is the view options, all other apps only had thumbnails, but i prefer list.

for an awesome project
