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. Quote From the Article: 'So now we have a PC that is capable of replacing many separate devices (such as a DVD player, and consoles), but lets admit it, that big beige case probably looks far worse than the hardware its replacing. Some people have gotten around this by using specialised cases such as those from Shuttle, or fancy aluminium cases such as those from LianLi.

  2. Voice command by legoboy · · Score: 1, Offtopic

    On the topic of PCs and home entertainment, could anybody out there point out some decent (and yet preferably free) linux voice command software?

    The only thing I can spot via google is some shareware app called MP3VoiceCommand which seems to not even be available any more.

    Although some sort of daemon which monitors the microphone and can do anything whatsoever would be nice, I'd settle for something which can only control music... I have a computer which pumps music to speakers outside by my hot tub, I'd love to be able to run a microphone out to it and change the songs and/or volume just by speaking. It would be nifty, oh yes.
