here is a nice review on that PC

[eGoCeNTRoNiX]

Can you tell me more about PCDJ? I'm slightly curious.. That and PCHT? I know what they are, but exactly how do they work/interface? And uh, where can I find it?

I bought the soft , I still use RED but paid for FX and it isn't stable enough for me yet, still new

( RED is the older version FX replaced, FX is almost stable, it is for most people )


and PCHT, I think you are talking about PC Home Theater, I haven't done much in that area yet, so I donno

[Busby]

I dunno about PCHT but using the PC as a home theater box is not that hard and doesn't really need software. I have my comp hooked up to a Yamaha 6.1 receiver with a digital coax cable and i get full surround sound support. There are a few settings you have to tweak, like in PowerDVD I have to tell it to use SPDIF instead of regular sound card processing. This allows all sound processing for DVDs to be done using my receiver and not my NForce 2 processor. Pretty cool. But for front-end stuff and control, there is always the wireless mouse and keyboard to control everything. I believe you can even get remote controls that you can program to do stuff also.

*EDIT*

I also found this software: http://ruel.net/pc/tv.tuner.frontend.htm Looks like a basic program that has shortcuts.

That thing looks neat as heck !!

now how about you add a 17" touch screen to that and make it a totaly pimp setup.

the ones you have are just a little to big to be taking out when I DJ, eventually this will get a 15 or 17" LCD

[Judg3]

Oi, that's a sexy little thing there! The amazing thing is it's only like $380 - which isn't bad considering it comes with all that stuff + a wireless LAN. I'd love to get one to turn it into a HTPC!

[Pugsley]

i will give you that they are a bit large for DJ use... but they dont have much plastic that can be dammaged. but... how about some ATA flight cases... got a whole pile of dem to get rid of... gimme some sizes you woudl need and ill see what i got. also have racks wiht ATA cases.

[DoPeY5007]

and just looking @ it I am very impressed, very well build

[Absolut Talent]

doesnt the xpc have to be around for 20 years before they can make a 20th anniversary special edition hat
