[QUOTE="warped6, post: 16765, member: 12349"] Hello Everyone, I have set up a HTPC for myself at home. An although I don't have everything configured in MP the way I want it, it's close enough that I can use it. I have to fight my wife for time on it now even if I tell her that it'll be better. :-) Anyway... a friend of ours was over the other day and she is looking for a new computer. She saw my HTPC and went "Cool!". Then she saw my wife's Shuttle and went "Cool! And you build me one of those (HTPC) in a box that size (Shuttle)?" Sure I said. Came up with a price, and she said she would do it later. No problem. So now my questions... 1. Do you think MP is stable enough to be used by a computer newbie? She mainly uses it for some 'net browsing, e-mail, Office stuff but likes the idea of getting rid of her TV and DVD player. 2. Could this be the start of a business? Would it be worth it or am I asking for headaches? It seems like there is a lot of buzz with MS and such but is it (media pc's) *REALLY* getting to be as popular as it sounds or is it just noise? Is it the computer industry saying "Hey this is the next big thing!" or IS it the next big thing? Anybody has any thoughts? Mike [/QUOTE]
