I've been busy building (and then enjoying the heck out of) a new media PC, which has resulted in me spending more time watching movies than being on the forums. I'll try to be better about checking in.
You should post about what went in to your media PC... unless there's as much to tell as there is about EFalardeau's coolest remote ever project.
I also have been working on a Media PC and Rack, here ya go you asked for it,
