| 'Entertainment PC'? www.entertainmentpc.co.uk My dad spotted this in a magazine and was quite intrigued. Look at the specs, it's basically the company marketing a Home Theater PC, which I think is a very good idea. What my dad wants to know is how much these units cost? Anyone able to find out? I doubt it'll be as cheap as building your own, but we're interested nonetheless  Home cinema: Toshiba 42XV555DB Full HD LCD | Onkyo TX-SR705 | NAD C352 | Monitor Audio Bronze B2 | Monitor Audio Bronze C | Monitor Audio Bronze BFX | Yamaha NSC120 | BK Monolith sub | Toshiba HD-EP35 HD-DVD | Samsung BD-P1400 BluRay Player | Pioneer DV-575 | Squeezebox3 | Virgin Media V+ Box PC: Asus P5B | Core2duo 2.13GHz | 2GB DDR2 PC6400 | Inno3d iChill 7900GS | Auzentech X-Plosion 7.1 | 250GB | 500GB | NEC DVDRW | Dual AG Neovo 19" HTPC: | Core2Duo E6420 2.13GHz | 2GB DDR2 | 250GBx2 | Radeon X1300 | Terratec Aureon 7.1 | Windows MCE 2005 Laptop: 1.5GHz Centrino | 512MB | 60GB | 15" Wide TFT | Wifi | DVDRW |

| the cases they use on that site come in at between £190 and £300 so im guessing that they wont be cheap. you can get the same functionality from a shuttle, etc.... |

| Front end software = XLOBBY www.xlobby.com Far far far better than myhtpc, but harder to setup. It is totally skinable and can look however you want it to. It's more like Meedio will be, but it's free and available now... not in ~September! |
