[QUOTE="Mooga, post: 344732, member: 85838"] So I got my hands on an old Dell D610 Laptop with a broken screen and damaged case. Originally I just had it sitting around as a Kubuntu playground, but that got old. So I'm in the process of turning it into a media center. Since the laptop has svideo out and a DVD drive is seemed like a logical option. My main worry is that it has an INTEL graphic card which are generally crappy as all hell. It does, however, have 1gb of ram and a 1.86GHz Pentium Mobile which should be able to handle the basics. I want to mainly use it for music, movies, online video, and possibly some emulation. I would love to use it for hulu if possible. For control, I bought a wireless mouse to use. Any recommendations would be great. :D The box is running Windows XP SP3. [/QUOTE]
