Do you own a HTPC / Media Center PC?

thanks for that link DT, im gonna have to try that with dual-boot.

my 9600gso popped some caps before i had a chance to use it, was going to get a 8800gt, but ended up getting a 5670 instead.

I sorta do. Thought of building a separate HTPC box but decided it's not a good use of my money right now. I hook my laptop up to my roommates TV using HDMI and watch content through that.

I want some sort of remote control for the laptop though. Something that can act as a mouse plus other functions, preferable customizable and can be custom mapped. Anyone have any low budget suggestions? Either with a USB reciever or bluetooth.
