Move over DVD...
Why have a DVD player, when a modded XBox running XBox Media Center could be so much better?
I really like the idea of being able to play all the video I have on my computer on the TV, without having to have a big noisy PC sitting next to it.

I can't be sure, but I think we had it connected to the surround sound, but it was a lot of buggering about if we wanted to change from the Xbox back to Sky. Or something - I must have switched off when Chris was talking about it :)
Chris actually had it streaming the wedding photos direct from his PC the other night...dead impressive.

The XBOX noise is purely fan. Ours is a 1.0 XBOX, which has an additional VPU fan, which is rather noisy. The fan can be replaced with a quieter one or silenced with a heat sync. Tutorials for this are on xbox-scene (www.xbox-scene.com)
It's not connected to the surround amp atm, as the amp only had one optical in, and I figured we use sky more :) I will connect it via regular phono's when I can be bothered :O)
