Home Entertainment PC Mod

Hughesey writes "With PC's beginning to enter the Home Entertainment scene, OC-Melbourne have come up with the perfect way to integrate a PC into your Home Theater setup. The OC-Melbourne HEPC.

    we're trying to make a linux-box that seamlessly integrates every bit of software needed for a multimedia box.

    Thanks!
