You can sell this UTM and buy a good PC for media center.

And 50" LCD to view Blu-Ray Movies.

And buy a good audio system.

And video card for play games in HD.

[alfcoz]

And really do you pretend to make a mediacenter with an old PCI VGA????!??!?!?

[dmitrislastname]

wow next level nerd

[Mutiny32]

What a waste of money. That box and the license alone is probably worth $10k+. Nice job dumbass.

[securitygeek]

Read your EULA. Dumbass.

[gregherbert123]

hilarious - absolutely hilarious! Noticed that it says "Crossbeam Systems" on the BIOS screen too.

[DJDigitalMonster]

am i missing something?

*not laughing yet*

[necromncr]

It's great thing you did this but for future reference: dont zoom in so much.. it's really annoying. Go get a tripod.

[jb12321]

celeron m 1.5? that's not slow hardware. if you are having trouble playing videos it's the shitty cirrus logic videocard you put in it....

[cjnewbs]

How many network adapters does windows say that has.

Do 4 show up or is there some sort of proprietary driver for them?

[allhailstentor]

The only interesting part was the installation of the VGA device and discovery of an otherwise standard PC inside the UTM-1. About 30 seconds of interesting and 7:30 of cleaning up loose ends.

two things: whats with the hammer-n-sickle and whats with those white gloves you have on?

[seilinyaov]

who sad it is hard?

[seilinyaov]

it was lame redhad (what i got from glib's) dist. they call it SPLA

[sp00nix]

bad techno music and crazy camera work almost put me into convulsions. i did something like this once but i started from and empty rack mount case from some old cable equipment and put a PC in there. but i made it a router not a "media center"

[pjnofrills]

Aren't these units a little pricey to be using as media centers? Or is this something of a proof of concept?

[happydudep]

i guess it could use a USB sound device for sound

[jman200x]

congratulations - you've turned a pc into, um, another pc =/

Why not try and get a linux media center app running on secureplatform - there's a challenge :P

[TheKhakinator]

Hey, how did you get sound from this thing? Great job! The music made it a lot more fun to watch :)

[unlockedboost]

oooh, good point, you never touched upon the sound portion, you did quite well with miss-spellings!

[edbersan]

mmm ok, maybe slow hardware, but... what about running DamnSmallLinux (DSL) with a few video/Media players (ie: VLC Player) ?? With that kind of hardware DSL will fly! .. by the way. GREAT WORK :)!!

[seilinyaov]

now running Gentoo :) i'm too lazy to make new video.

[LinkinCable]

does it have a sound card built in? or another pci slot..??

[seilinyaov]

no, no sound card, both a usb sound card. no 5.1 and only stereo, but it is ok.

[tapius123]

yeah song? ;)

[kittymessiah]

Whats the song?

[seilinyaov]

songs used:

Evermore - It's Too Late (Dirty South Remix)

DJ.Tiesto - Gouryella (Live At Innercity 2006)

please buy cd's if you like.

[MS3FGX]

I was with you until you started installing Windows XP...ugh. Not exactly the best choice for this type of setup.

[seilinyaov]

Linux OS is too hard for this hardware :)

[samadeus]

Nice and clever!

Y did u wear glove?

[seilinyaov]

y gloves? cold!

[addictedtowwe]

i guess its something to do with the static discharge but i'm wondering why the latex gloves????

[jackie31337]

Nice to see someone doing something useful with a Checkpoint product. ;)
