New Project – Media Centre PC

May 28th, 2009 No comments

Decide to recycle my Dell Hybrid Studio PC into the front room. Ebay was my first thought but decided against that as the price I’d get would be shocking, will need to sell the widescreen monitor, hopefully James!

So Im currently reinstalling Vista as I did have Windows 7 Beta on it, and plan to run with Windows Media Centre software as It’s included on my legit Vista CD. May need to upgrade the Wifi to 802.11n to ensure the streaming speed is good enough.

So, now the PS3 is just a BlueRay player and gaming device, I just didnt enjoy the media centre implimentation (cross bar)… anyway, it keeps me out of trouble! hehehe


Im no longer a PC!

They say once you try a Mac you don’t go back… well I can see why! Having played with my MacBook for a week I’ve gone and upgraded my desktop PC to an 24″ iMac. It’s an amazing machine, fast, good looking and so easy. It just works out of the box, it’s a breath of fresh air compared to Vista.
Trying out Blogo at the moment to see if it suits my Mac blogging needs, seems pretty good so far, will try a few others before I get my credit card out! :)
