My foray into HD, AV

Yeah, I know. You’ve already got it. HD is like so last year. But I’m … slow. I can’t help it. I just couldn’t justify paying top dollar for an HD TV (when I don’t have TV service), and a new Blu-Ray player — and THEN have to go buy new movies to take advantage.

So I cheated. I bought a new monitor from Newegg. Yup, 28 inches of HD yummy-ness. Then I bought a Dell Zino HD. Blu Ray player and TV, all for the price of … well – you know. So I own one BR movie, watched it – loved it.

With the new Dell, I no longer was reliant on my Mac Mini…. what to do….
Media Center!
Yup, that’s right. I moved it downstairs. I ripped out my DVD player and CD changer and integrated everything through my VHS (for centralized video and audio) player. So my Wii, original Nintendo, VHS, Amp and Mini all live in very close proximity. I only have to change the channel up/down on the VHS player to select the Mini, Wii or everything else. Brilliant. Adam and Nathan were both major contributors to the design and implementation of my new home theatre system. I’m quite pleased.
