PC Media Center

Now that I have the P4 PC bits installed in the Antec Veris Max case, and have managed to get MediaPortal and XMBC running (although not quite fully, yet). It is running well enough to replace my modded Xbox.

So out goes the PC under the TV and the Xbox:

And in goes the Antec Media Center:


EDIT:
The power consumption of this Media PC is 6W in standby, and upto 160W in usage! Yikes! I will have to be thinking about a new motherboard and CPU to reduce the power consumption (like this Media PC). I have two hard disk in this box: Seagate PipelineHD 320GB and a Seagate 160Gb CE drive. Now that it is in place, it is quite noisy when it runs, but I am not sure where the noise is coming from. I will have to find out whether the noise is from the CPU fan, the power supply (fan) or the case fans. It could also be the hard disks inside making the virbrations...
