My XBMC Powered HTPC Setup

I am using a discrete, but powerful machine coupled with XBMC on Windows 7 to create the ULTIMATE home theater experience. I have fanart and posters for 99% of my vids. I have a crapload of work to do still on my music collection, as seen in the vid. I am also having trouble with my TV episodes, I am having to add each of them manually which is a total pain.

The skin I am using is Transparency. Transparency is a nice skin, that is friendly to mouse usage, which for me right now is mandatory because I am using a trackball mouse without a keyboard for most usage until my Lenovo N5901 gets here.

Nice HTPC, but you should at least be watching Blu-ray rips, I mean the majority of your movies are SD...come on lol

@FreddieTheFoxx I also want to know. you are talking about the moving image on the 'theatre screen' in the first few seconds of the vid right? Did you ever find out, or can someone let me/us know how to do that?
