Media PC

["Mark McCall" <mark@xxxxxxx>]

On my never ending search for a reasonably priced 19" Rackmount PC
case I
came across this...

Many people in the UK are following their counterparts in the US and
building PCs to use at the heart of their home cinema systems. Put simply,
the idea is to use a PC DVD ROM drive and DVD software like Win DVD or
Power
DVD, together with a graphics card which supports accelerated DVD playback.
The resulting DVD images are very high quality. High enough, infact to feed
into a video projector to get a very large, cinematic picture. People
typically use LCD, DLP or preferably CRT projectors, fed with the output of
the VGA socket of the graphics card. The PC acts as a powerful DVD player
and video processor in one box.
