  • 3:10 CHRIS!!!! Press the \ key! It's working but not currently set to display in full screen mode.

  • @RobLoach Oh there was a couple other issues too, kinda a shame I don't recall all of them because I shot this episode in multiple parts.

    Part of it was, I did not want to use that ATI card. I wanted to use the onboard video, because it had HDMI w/working audio out. And it was silent and low heat that way. But that board in that build could only play 720p content.

    But the same board, but with an Nvida ION chip, could get the job done.

  • i just drilled a hole through the wall between my tv and the closet behind it

    run a beefy setup and never worry about hearing it.

  • @bmw2go11 In my last place I thought about doing that too! Would not work in my current pad, but that is a seriously handy option!

    -Chris

  • How much power does either of the Atom boxes in this weeks IDL consume as If I were to do something like that, then power would be a major issue...

  • @morgohill or just buy a netbook based on the c-50

  • @monstercameron that is what my media center/home server is geting 1080p is i bit of a pain i think it's the drivers it should have the power.

  • conclusion...atoms sux...get a amd e-350 mini-itx, 1080p would be good. although amd drivers sux.

  • the raspberry pi can do hd video on a 25$ bored.

  • Low-Tech solution to High-Tech problem I love it! @bmw2go11
