It's a shame he won't be able to play any games on that big screen.

There's some pretty nice Linux-based options for Media PCs out there, I'll concur. Of course, on the flip side, I have had no issues with several of the dual-monitor setups I've used with Windows.

And I'll get flamed for this one, but please please please spell-check your articles before posting. :)

Lol, I agree, spell check should practically be required before posting...

Anywho, he can game with a dual-monitor setup, depending upon his GPU and system in general...Even though he may have to turn down the resolution or limit himself to playing on only one monitor when he wants to play...

Great pics, and a great blog! :D

Respectfully,

Thanks! Comments are always welcome. I agree, should have done some proofreading. XFree88?

Games? He's got his system set up as dual-boot for that purpose and plays games on the big screen. His primary monitor is the launcher (ext mode). MCE? I think he is still trying...

Latest: He's really back and has done more -- he is using MythTV to watch his new AT&T Uverse package.
