I don’t know how many of you out there have digital photo frames but this one has a feature that most don’t.  Not only does it include wireless connectivity and the ability to access flickr or picaso but it is also a monitor for TRENDnet IP cameras.  I personally think that’s kind of slick.   This is a very interesting […]

While not directly HTPC related, Bjorn 3D did a nice writeup on how to make a bootable NTFS USB drive.  One of those things that might come in handy some day.  It’s fairly short, so I thought it was worth the read.   That’s all you have to do to create a Bootable NTFS Disk but what can you do […]

A pretty good read, especially you are into getting the most, or the best, out of your HDTV!  I for one is one of those guy that bring out the DVE Bluray & a SPL meter, re-calibrate the video & audio in my house every couple months!  :p   in fact, I just re-calibrate both the HT & the living […]

I’m not the kind of person to toot my own horn, but Mike asked me to submit my blog update as news, so I’m doing that.  I posted 7 separate updates, covering a few aspects of my WHS build.  I think the two updates most people will be interested in are the Port Multiplers (Hot Swap Bays Part III) and […]

Luxa2 is an HTPC-specific division of Thermaltake that just started selling HTPC cases and accessories in the last few months.  The LM200 that is reviewed here is one of their first offerings.  I personally like the looks of it.   Internally this case is pretty bare. I have not seen a case design so simple yet so effective. The horizontal […]

Silverstone has been in the HTPC case business for a long time now.  Although this case isn’t exactly new, Benchmark Reviews took the LC10B-E for a spin.   HTPC cases, as well as HTPCs themselves, can be customized to fulfill various roles. As I mentioned in the intro, there are some situations in which a small, book-size Atom ITX system […]

I don’t think this would really surprise anyone given Hulu’s actions in the past year, but still dissapointing.
