Fanless Media Center Box
An anonymous reader writes "I didn't know that Hush Technologies made Media Center PCs, but they do. Here's a review of one of those beautiful fanless machines running media center 2005. Could this be the perfect media center box?" It's certainly perfectly expensive.
Hi there piece of shit. Congratulations for being such a fucking failure that you managed to have one decent remark followed by only brainless idiot posts since you began your worthless /. account.
Really, you are truly l337. We are all so impressed </clapping>
Nice irony you have there, with the rampant homophobia and all.
"microsoft drm-encumbered proprietary evilness"
The files recorded by MCE2005 are not DRM protected. Using a simple app you can convert them to standard MPEG-2.
"Ironic that your name contains "myth" as we've had that capability in mythtv land for quite some time. "
Yeah, but in so many other ways, MythTV "blows". Unless you want to dedicate a PC to being a Myth box, you're pretty much screwed.
Not to mention the killer interface, ease of setup, and overall featureset of MCE.
Oh, and, yeah, MCE2005 supports multi-tuner configs. Works great, actually. I don't know what the grandparent is complaining about.
MCE2005 just *works*. Like a TiVo. If you want to mess with crap to get your TV system going, go for it. For the rest of us who want a tested, easy-to-config solution, MCE2005 is the way to go.
