    Default Old Multibox PC transforms into a Home Theater PC.

    This is my current project. My old Intel Q6600 pc has been turned into a new home theater pc. I am sure many of us have old boxing pc's that are collecting dust. Why not turn them into HTPC's? I purchased a new case, blueray drive, wireless keyboard, gigabit router, and wireless n adapter. I wanted to up my speed to gigabit for wired and N for my HTPC. I am using my old wireless to run all my Iphones, Ipad, and PS3's on Wireless G band. This lets me dedicate the new gigabit router to N band for better speed. Here are the pictures of my progress so far.

    Once I build a network attached storage (NAS) I will begin ripping all my dvd's to it. This is pretty fun! I have only scratched the surface of what HTPC's can do. My two ATI 3870's breathe life again. Plus they have a built in 5.1 sound to push audio over the HDMI cable to my AV Receiver.


    The parts.

    “Is God willing to prevent evil, but not able? Then he is not omnipotent.
    Is he able, but not willing? Then he is malevolent.
    Is he both able and willing? Then whence cometh evil?
    Is he neither able nor willing? Then why call him God?”
