Max Builds an HTPC: pre-build update

Posted By: Max Zuckerman | Mar 19th @ 11:33 AM

I know it has been a while since you have heard about the build-a-PC but I got a friendly nudge from a fellow 8er.

Little did he know, I had already ordered all of the components and they have ARRIVED! I have added a few surprises to the mix that I think you all will really enjoy.

Although there is a chance I’m going to blow something up….. so make sure you watch this build post, it should be LEGENDARY. Or at least fun to watch Smiley .

Until then… sit tight, or feel free to speculate on what the surprise is in the comments.

Worlds largest Windows Media Center remote control

Posted By: Christian Liensberger | Jan 9th @ 10:33 AM

Michael Hurnaus (aka michbex), a true geek and former student (until half a year or so ago), and a friend of him bought two PlayStation 2 Dance Dance revolution mats and a Playstation2-to-PC converter box. After that they wrote a C# library (available from here) to connect the two mats with their Windows Media Center PC.

The result, as seen in the picture, is the largets Windows Media Center Control that the world has ever seen! A video of Michael playing the remote is also available on his blog and here.
