Media Centre PC for sale
In my continued efforts to raise cash for my IVA test, I'm selling my Media Centre PC.
It was built by myself to the following spec: Antec Fusion Case, with energy efficient 430w power supply, and VFD display, that displays album track or DVD information, or time, weather, news feed, e-mail etc when not being used. You can configure what information it displays yourself with the built-in software. Asus M5A78L motherboard, bought new in February this year. It has HDMI output, as well as optical digital audio out, so can be connected to decent hi fi amps etc. Mines been connected to a Bose Lifestyle set up, and the surround sound is superb! It has USB 3 outputs for faster transfer speeds, ideal for connecting an external hard drive that supports USB 3. In all, there are 6 USB ports at the rear. AMD Athlon II x 2 AM3 2900GHz CPU, bought new this February. 8Gb of DDR3 1066MHz RAM, also bought new in February this year. A 20x DVD+\-RW Samsung DVD Drive A 500Gb 7200rpm Hard drive. There is a second hard drive bay in the case for when you need more storage, and they are both held in a silicon grommet-mounted cage for quieter running. I've been using it with iTunes for music and MyMovies to store and catalogue my DVD collection, via Windows Media Centre. It will come with a fresh install of Windows 7 enterprise edition, ready for you to use whatever software you prefer. The bad bit: The 2 front USB ports don't work. My toddler broke one of them, so I just disconnected the internal plug. You could probably repair the problem but with 6 USB ports at the rear, I've never needed the front ones, so didn't bother! I'm looking for £190 plus postage, but will listen to sensible offers! This really is a great machine, and I've been very happy with it. Because of the case design, it fits in nicely in tv cabinets, and doesn't look like a PC. With a wireless keyboard or air mouse, you can enjoy all your media from the comfort of your sofa! Cheers for looking,  Adrian

Good base for a MythTV PVR, add a DVB-T tuner and you can record TV too

Would love too, sounds like a cracking system for the price. But toys are off my shopping list for the foreseeable future.
If anyone wants a DVB-T ( freeview ) computer tuner to go with this so you can watch/record TV on the computer. Then I have one going cheap ( I use a different one now on my MythTV media computer. TT

just wanted to say, hope you raise enough cash for your IVA, it's quite liberating clearing out all the stuff that you don't really need to pay for bits for the roadster.
Hope it gets tested soon. M
