If you are looking for HTPC usage and don’t need the CPU horsepower for encoding and the like, then a nice low power CPU is really all that’s needed if the graphics chip can […]
Read moreA nice option for many of you with Home Servers (or thinking about it) but might not want a dedicated full HTPC running as well. Not quite sure on how easy or reliable this is in the future, but for now it’s a great option. And if you order it by tonight, you can get PlayOn for 50% off through […]

Well, this new post makes it obvious to see where that Zotac bored went.

TechCrunch posted some pictures shown at the Boxee event last week and I forgot to post them here. The pictures are fuzzy, but you get the idea…some interesting changes to the UI of Boxee. If you haven’t yet, go check out the Windows Alpha that’s now publicly available at boxee.tv
