Home Media center 2007/2008

In late 2007 and early 2008 we decided we were going to build a home media center and blog it. We got about 90% through the project when we decided to look at the OSX (Mac) platform and scrubbed the “Windows” based MCE.

I wanted to share with you what we did blog. Some of it is silly… (We were playing with various time-lapse stuff to stay within YouTube’s length limitations)

This first video gives a quick tour of our place in Las Vegas and what we had then:

This next video shows us putting all of the parts we got together: (We did another speed up and added some music to make it interesting – LOL)

This was about as far as we got with this project.
