My silly home PC setup.

I've been working on trying to get my computer attached to my TV. I want to eventually go to a media center setup, where my PC has a BluRay decoder and can play BluRay natively, a TV tuner card so I can record TV shows like Tivo (except it's effectively free), and obviously wireless Ethernet.

There's a lot of money to spend to do seemingly easy stuff like this, but a media center PC can be smaller than my full tower that you see there and it reduces most of your electronics down to one box. That is, all of your music (CDs, MP3s, etc.) can now be played from your computer, and all movies (DVD/BluRay) can also be played, as well as playback of any show whether it be streaming video, downloaded from torrents, or recorded live from the TV tuner card. Incidentally, TV tuner cards are also compatible with satellite or cable, should I upgrade.

In addition, the idea that you can PC game onto a 52" TV is pretty insane. PC games have the highest resolution and detail of any game system out there. If you upgrade to a modern system, you'll easily double the graphics power of a PS3. PC gaming isn't for everybody, but it's just like sports cars. Some people can be satisfied with a Mustang, but others will not be satisfied until they own a Ferrari.

I'm amazed that anybody is even watching this video at all, much less rate it. I uploaded this video as a favor to a friend because I promised that I would show him my setup at home, and I didn't expect anybody to really watch it except him.

The key to all this, is to get really comfortable on your couch. I'm building a custom mini table just so I can play on my 50 inch plasma : )
