MSI Wind Barebones Desktop as a HTPC. My video

$139 w/ free shipping from NewEgg. I even have a $10 rebate for it which will take it down to $120 or something.

 

Atom Processor (I know, it won't do 1080 video but for $140....) I had all the parts lying around.

Very quiet. Very small. 2 days later, they have the dual core Atom for $150. I may upgrade.

 

I use my Iphone as the remote control for Front Row (app is called Rowmote).

I did the GMA 950 DSDT fix so I have 720 and 1080 resolution pumping out to my Samsung 52" LCD TV.

Plex (XBMC) allows me to play 720p. The Leopard DVD player upscales better than my upscale DVD/Blu Ray player.

 

10.5.6 installed perfectly with Boot 1-3-2 method. Cameleon 2 RC1 (non-GUI install found on this site). DSTD.aml patch. All is good.

 

Video in action. The Cameleon 2 bootloader is slick. You don't see the text and it looks seamless starting up.
