Oh and btw - the cartoons rule - I grew up with those too - Jayce and Centurions were awesome!!!

Update:

In case anyone is looking for a really, really, REALLY good add on for Media Centre, I give you MediaBrowser:

THIS
IS
THE
SH1T.

In a good way.

I'll grab some screenies of what it does, but it's found media information for some of my most obscure TV programs (Jayce, Street Hawk, Sledge Hammer) along with COver art, synopses (plural), backgrounds. It has configurable views (thumbs, coverflow, etc). Really, really good. Seriously. I spent AGEs looking for something that did what this does. It beats the living crap out of MyMovies (IMHO).

I've combined it with Salami meta scraper, just to I can get all the genres, etc as I want them. Oh, and you can search by actors, etc.

Serious wow factor.

Hmmm... that looks famailiar. It was called Starfleet? Pob255?? On in the early to mid 80s?

Anyone remember this

That's for the cartoons, and I did it ages ago. Strictly, if I could be bothered, I'd go back now and do what I did for my movies, which is to use CloneDVD. I may yet do that.

I did a search for CloneDVD, but found 2 different versions, from different companies.
Which one are you using?

Hehe, nice collection, got quite a few of those myself.


Have you tried playing Bluray movies on it? and how does it cope with those?

Shooty* - any chance of a pic of the size of the Antec case in comparisson to your Sky box (or just an idea of how much bigger it is)?

Yep, sure thing, was going to post a batch of new shots, gimme a wee while though, I'm accumulating Fred Astaire movies for the missus.

Photos coming soon. Nippers been poorly and I've been playing with the new version of mediaBrowser.

As regards BluRay: Once I swtiched to VGA instead of HDMI, it was great. Probably going to watch Quantum of Solace this weekend. The Duchess looked great (**** film though). TBH, standard DVDs look awesome too.

Also, if you are thinking about changing the stock fans a few of these may be nice and quiet

I have a few of the 120mm versions and for the price they are excellent, not high airflow but really are silent.
