[QUOTE="Matrix Orbtl, post: 423250, member: 91730"] There is really excellent Feedback here, and i think the comments are Spot on. as jsimmons suggested, and I can tell you this one from experience, use a seperate drive as your boot/os drive. That way if anything should happen to that, or you need to re-install your OS, there is no need to worry about your media collection, just format and go. Also as suggested by another user Stay away from Wireless, I've experimented with Media Streaming over wireless to get it into some other rooms, but it just doesn't work as good as a wired connection, personally I have gigabit in the house, which is great for HD. 6) Don't forget about control devices, such as a remote control, and wireless keyboard/mouse. Added up, these things will cost you about $100. This might seem like some selfish promotion, but don't forget to check out a Matrix Orbital Typhoon series ( [url=http://www.matrixorbital.com/lcd-gx-typhoon-mce-c-1_14.html]Matrix Orbital Serial LCD & USB LCD modules, Serial Graphic LCD Interface, Serial VFD & USB VFD modules, Serial PLED & USB PLED displays and Parallel LCD displays[/url] ) Good Luck !
