I've got a "spare" laptop which I hope will be up to the job, - a
Toshiba
Tecra 550CDT, - it's a P266 with 64MB, and it has a TV-out. I plan to hide
that away somewhere, connected to the bedroom TV for display, the bedroom
HiFi for sound, and use an IRMAN and a one-for-all remote for control....
Failing that, I'll buy a slimline desktop case and put my spare ABIT BP6 in
it, with a single Celeron 533 (which I also have a couple of floating
around), a spare VGA card with TV out, then everything else as above...
Only tricky bit will be sneaking it in without SWMBO noticing... :-)
