Having been very impressed by the LinuxMCE Video, I have begun playing with my own LinuxMCE system... I will record my rough thoughts and findings here, and move the relevant ones into the appropriate main pages as they become more than just random notes ;)

My LinuxMCE Wiki Bookmarks
Here are some links to pages within this wiki that I like to refer to often, and/or have trouble re-locating when I do want to refer to them.
Hardware
Core / Hybrid Server
| Component | Model | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Motherboard | Gigabyte GA-K8U-939 | |
| Graphics Card | Gigabyte GA-622-32C | nVidia TNT2 32MB - supports UI2 (medium) |
Laputa (MD)
Laputa is my wife's desktop PC, but by disabling the harddrives (via the BIOS), and enabling LAN booting, it makes a decent temporary media director to play with.
| Component | Model | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Motherboard | MSI MS-7061 | Supports LAN booting |
| Graphics Card | Asus V8440 | nVidia GeForce4 Ti 4400 - so far, have been unable to get UI2 working |
Unnamed (MD)
A media director currently in the process of being build out of spare parts. So far, this MD is not capably of faultless playback... it has some obvious frame-drop when streaming DVD ISO's from the server.
| Component | Model | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Motherboard | Compaq UWAVE | A Compaq OEM version of the FIC AZ31 motherboard. |
| Graphics Card | Asus TNT2-Vanta rev 1.00 | nVidia TNT2 Vanta |
| Network | 3Com 3c905c-tx-m | Managed 10/100 NIC with PXE LAN boot BIOS |
| Audio | Terratec DMX 1.1, with optional Digital Xtension | Has coaxial and optical in and out |
| DVD Drive | Pioneer DVD-115 | 16x |
