no, i just launch xbmc when i want too Tongue
using the Gyration Air Mouse GO+ to control my PC is amazing!!
i use firefox for the web and i love it!
theres tons of addons i cant live without...

Yea I love firefox but nothing beats Kylo on the big screen, makes browsing from the couch really nice and easier to see from a bit of a distance. For example I'll fire up Kylo when I have friends over so they can browse. No matter what browser I'm using I always go to http://www.youtube.com/xl instead of the regular youtube looks way nicer on an hdtv, give it a try its pretty cool

well i have zero issues with seeing text on the big screen!!
check my air mouse i told u about Smile
i can zoom in, out, use a magnifier, its unbeatable

Yea those are pretty slick input devices, I was thinking about the bluetooth model of that same keyboard a while ago, good to know they have issues. Oh and I also have the GT210 on one of my pc's but it does not get audio over its HDMI not because of the video card itself but the motherboards chipset needs to support audio over pcie. Most intel chipsets do but mines an AsRock 4CoreDual-VSTA with a VIA chipset that doesnt support it but does have a SPDIF header that i use, Just thought I'd pass that info on.

Hey...this thread was a good read - even though I recently built an Ion system running linux. At some point in the future though I would like to have a go at a windows system (as IMO some things are easier).

Question - was there a reason you chose AMD over an intel?

Any issue with 64x drivers? (were there any issues running a 64x system vs 32x?).

Your video rocks and the system seems really really snappy Smile Thx for sharing

Since im in Canada, Shipping fees are crazy,,,,
Going with an AMD build help'ed bring the overall cost down...
INTEL was pricier...

Nope, No issues at all!
