you are very neat and clean
LOL I'll give you neat. The funny thing I have learned over my life is that neatness assumes cleanliness.
You've got to try the full screen track info display with the blue background and lower right image (blurred lines). It's very nice
The key is remote, too. I am using the Keyspan remotes and they allow each button to be customized to any keyboard combination...so I can customize each button to exactly what I need and then save the configuration out to use again so I don't have to configure it again.
That Microsoft MCE Media Center Keyboard looks interesting. Kind of big but I haven't seen it in any local stores so it may be a little smaller in person. I also have a Harmony remote so will look into possibly getting that working with the computer.
I have a Logitech RF keyboard that works great. The Gyration keyboards are also pretty nice for HTPC purposes (and small).For a remote -- if you already own a harmony then you might as well. I really like my Snapstream Firefly remote with Girder though! That, plus a USB UIRT (not for the remote itself but to control my other A/V equipment through the remote/computer) is the only remote I need.
MC12 works out of the box with the Microsoft MCE Media Center Keyboard (with inbuilt pointer thingie) and Remote Control (both are IR based).
dc:You like what you seen, huh ?Well, when youre done, update your equipment a little and try outKid DynamiteIt will knock your socks off.
what I have is all new because the ex-wife got the previous setup. It will be awhile before any further changes are made.
Ouch.
I've only ever just used an IRMAN before, but since it's a serial IR receiver and the new system won't support serial devices, I won't be able to use it.
