Well, that's not enough content for me.</p> <p>I'm interested in HTPC but know nothing about it other than i know that i can watch some pretty cool content online and much of the same content i was paying Comcast for before I canceled my 60 channel lineup.</p> <p>So, I'm very aware of the Google TV and Apple TV announcements but I'm now scared to pull the trigger on a HTPC for fear of investing into the wrong technology.</p> <p>Can anyone shed some light on what path to take in terms of getting content on my large LCD flat panel TV? </p> http://thehtpcblog.com/forums/topic.php?id=6#post-9 Thu, 22 Apr 2010 21:12:45 +0000 Fernando Dunn 9@http://thehtpcblog.com/forums/ <p>I posted this pretty embarrassing picture of my HTPC cable management (or lack thereof) to twitter a few days ago.</p> <p><a href="http://tweetphoto.com/18874054" title=""><img src="http://cdn.cloudfiles.mosso.com/c54112/x2_11ffec6" alt="" /></a></p> <p>Since then I've made a 98% improvement by rigging a "cable basket" or "gutter" underneath my stand. I also removed some unused 500GB USB hard drives. I'll move towards a NAS or 2.5" USB drives in the future to minimize power cords/adapters.</p> <p>There is still a bit more to do as far as hiding speaker wires behind my baseboards.</p> <p>Has anyone else undertaken such a project? How do you keep your media center tidy? </p> http://thehtpcblog.com/forums/topic.php?id=4#post-4 Sun, 28 Mar 2010 20:34:24 +0000 Fernando Dunn 4@http://thehtpcblog.com/forums/ <p><em>Sorry, polls can only be added to the first post in a thread.</em> </p>
