For WAF problem about living room, this computer is perhaps for kitchen ? ;) ;) ;)

Problem is - we have an open kitchen that is connected to the living room. No solution there, pal :lol: :lol: :lol:

I have been thinking about a kitchenpc, though. Some little touch screen and a small unit to keep recepies and the grocery list... Ah, never mind ;-) We've been talking about that on the German Mediaportal Forum some time ago.

All things considered

Whether its cool or the next move in keeping your PC running cooler, theres just no reason to use such a setup in the home really!

In my thinking there are just to many thing to go wrong with it! I have an aqwuarium in a house with three other roommates and they cant keep they're crap off it it which leads to all kinds of things floating in the tank.

Second: consider whats entailed on working on your system for upgrades and such. Not saying that keeping your system in oil is all that bad, but do you really want to be dealing with cleaning up from working on your system that way on a regular basis. Most heavy end users do plenty of upgrades to ram motherboards and such pretty frequently.

Third: So if your place suddenly catches fire is it going to be easier to snatch a box and run or pull a board and parts out of dripping oil and run with it in a fire. :)

Sure if you have a stable clean environment where no one but you is dealing with it it sounds way cool.

Looks like there's some kind of error regarding translations that I can't pinpoint about Subcentral. You'll find it in the log file I attached to my previous message. I don't understand it because I use MP in english, I search for subtitles in english and not in my native language, so I can't figure out what's translation got to do...

Fixed, I think. Certainly the vintage MP2 installer that I was using no longer installs the LAV filters. I can only assume that these were never part of the install package itself, but rather downloaded during the install, and that link no longer exists. Shame that the installer doesn't indicate this. Last time when I installed the...

you are right.. I spotted why it's not working. For what ever reason, the 3x recently added / watched for TV series, etc was killing it.. I've removed it for now and it's started working again. I'll have to dig a little deeper as to why it's happened all of a sudden.
