I have a little different take on HTPC than some on this forum.

Here is a direct link to my free hardware guide which I keep up to date for those interested who haven't seen it from over at AVS (over 1.1 million views in my thread there)

That's why I turned from long time lurker to poster. Some won't agree with me and that's fine. What I do hope is that an alternate viewpoint and someone who has actual experience in those alternate viewpoints is viewed as an asset to the community.

^^There are lots of members of this forum who will provide advice but not many of them have actual experience with what they are recommending. I know it will be fun to watch.

Nobody makes any money at this but Apple or Dell (just barely). The rest of us just have some cool stuff to share and a passion for these HTPC gadgets. Welcome.

If you have online store in your signature, one would think that you have to make money to keep it active.........

Since I don't have online store in my signature, nobody will question me for try to sell anything.......several users offered me donation through PM, but I refused to accept it........

Great to see you here. Your guide was the primary source for my HTPC last year. Excellent, thoroughly researched recommendations with great explanation!
