Yesterday, I handed in the grades for my Buddhism class, so I am officially done with this semester. woot.

Our apartment's people:computer ratio has increased to 2:5. Two desktops, two laptops, and one box inherited from my mother. I decided to turn the new box into a home theatre pc. Here's the details:

Dell Dimension Something or Other
2.80 GHz processor
512 mb RAM
80 Gb hard drive
Ati RX300 video card with S-video out
DVD/CD-RW optical drive
6 rear USB ports, two front USB ports
Audigy sound card

I cleared the hard drive and installed Mythbuntu 7.10. Once I got the video drivers up, I switched from my old 17 inch CRT monitor to the tv via S-Video. I bought a Belkin wifi adapter which worked right out of the box, and hooked it into my home wireless network. I installed Azureus for managing torrents and bookmarked all of my favorite torrent search engines on firefox. For sound, I set up a set of Dell pc speakers (with subwoofer). Now, I have a working MythTv front end for watching and ripping dvds. so far, it locks up when trying to play an .avi, but If I exit MythTv and go into the desktop, I can open VLC player and play whatever I want, at full screen. today, I installed Zsnes and Mame, and set them up to be accessible from MythTv. Zsnes works like a charm. i'm still downloading a set of Mame roms. I also plugged in and configured my joystick.

Now, the fifth computer is the ultimate piracy box. Instead of downloading shows and burning them to dvd to watch them, I will download them onto the Piracy Appliance and watch them directly. I've got games, rss news feeds, and even the fucking weather channel. This setup truly rocks.
