Calling on the Knowledge of LJ
Dec. 29th, 2005 02:41 pmCouple of questions...
1. When we move the PC will not be able to live comfortably near the TV, which will make life a tad more complicated. I am contemplating buying a Media Centre PC and networking it to the main machine which will download stuff. Alternatively, I'll have the BT client on the Media PC and do everything from the lounge. Anybody have any experience of these or this sort of thing?
2. I've been considering buying (the above) from eBay - any advice is welcome
I did look at building the thing myself but frankly, it just doesn't seem to make economic sense no matter how I dice it, the costs worked out roughly the same as buying pre-assembled.
