[QUOTE="moltas, post: 30124, member: 12298"] I am not sure if I could say that my HTPC project is finished...or if it ever will :) Anyway I have chosen a slightly different approach to get Media portal on my telly. I wanted my PC totally invicible and also totally silent. These criterias made me to put the PC in the cellar. This had it's pro's and con's. No need to buy expensive cases, fans etc since the computer wasn't present at all. On the other hand I had to solve the problem of connecting my PC over such distance (20 metres). I have cat5 cables for the Internet connection and the television antenna (terrestrial). I also have a cat5 cable for the transmitting of audio, video and IR. I found a neat product that solved the last bit - [url=http://www.automatedhome.co.uk/modules.php?name=News&file=article&sid=1563]Kat 5 Mark II[/url] Once I got the cable correct the Mark II delivered extremely high quality audio and video. I had been using a wireless audio/video extender and was quite satisfied with the quality but the Mark II delivers far superior quality! Thumbs up!! The only flaws is the hardware itself, the power contacts and the cat5 contact on the reciever easily falls out. When you buy something that cost as much as the Mark II you expect that kind of things to be of the same quality as the rest. None the less I can recommend this product if you want the highest quality and have the money. The minor flaws with the contacts the won't stick isn't really a problem unless you plan to move the boxes around during operation. If anything is badly explained feel free to ask! /Moltas [/QUOTE]
