It's one of those old Celerons with Windows XP. It's in parts, someone suggest what I could do with it, I can assemble it, but I have no use for it. Should I test it out or put it together and mess with it a little?
Hook it up to your TV Bam, makeshift HTPC. [editline]08:48PM[/editline] wait, in parts? turn the ram into a keychain or something.
Install a stripped down linux distro and load it with a crapload of emulators and stuff. Paint it black so it doesn't look stupid. Put under TV. Get a couple of controllers. Multi game system box :D
HTPC, I say.....Do you have an HDTV?
[QUOTE=Warship;25195432]HTPC, I say.....Do you have an HDTV?[/QUOTE] You don't need an HDTV to do it, most older video cards have SVideo, which I find okay once you ramp down the resolution.
[QUOTE=benjgvps;25196852]You don't need an HDTV to do it[/QUOTE] Yea I know, it's just much nicer to have an HTPC hooked up to an HDTV..
I have a 32 Inch SchaubLorenz, that could work. [editline]07:13PM[/editline] [img]http://web1.koduleht.net/templates/telerid/files/mdl_products.php/tlwqso47de24c95ce19.jpg[/img] Found a pic, it's this one.
