Operational System

  • Dec. 2009 - Running an upgraded to beta2 system.

Core - ASUS P4C800E-Deluxe - UI2

  • Intel P4 2.8Ghz, 2 GB RAM, 1GB LAN, Analog Audio
  • NVIDIA Geforce 6600 GT - VGA - 1280x1024
  • 120 GB SATA HDD
  • 100MB PCI NIC
  • CM11A - Removed
    • 19 Oct. 2009 - I've been fighting with a CM11A and two X10 appliance relays and I have come to the conclusion that X10 is old technology which should be taken out behind the shed and put down. It looks like noise on my power lines is causing the appliance relays to turn 'ON' whenever they feel like. LMCE is not the cause. I'll need to try ZWave or Insteon some time I've got disposable cash.

MD - Zotac IONITX-A-U Atom N330 1.6 Ghz - UI2

  • 2 GB RAM, 1GB LAN, Digital Audio, VGA - 720P - VDPAU
  • USB-UIRT
  • Toshiba Plasma TV - 42HP86 - VGA
  • Yamaha AV Receiver - HTR-5760 - DD/DTS 5.1/PCM via S/PDIF
  • X10 Appliance Module (Floor Lamp) - Removed

MD - ASUS EeeBox B202 Atom 230 1.6 Ghz - UI1

  • 1 GB RAM, 1GB LAN, Analog Audio, VGA - 800x600
  • Powered PC Speakers
  • Mediagate MCE Remote - I'm not sure what/if some of the buttons are supposed to do in LMCE yet... havn't been able to get the IR receiver to work yet.

Orbiters

  • WebDT 366
  • Nokia N800
  • Toshiba Portege Touchscreen Tablet (WinOrbiter)
  • Toshiba Tecra Tablet (WinOrbiter)
  • Ubuntu PC (WinOrbiter via Wine)

Networking

  • Linksys WRT350N - DD-WRT v24sp1
    • Internet Firewall
    • Asterisk 1.4 Server - SIP line (not yet controlled by LMCE)
  • Linksys PAP2T-NA ATA

  • PCI 100MB NIC
  • 3TB SATA HDDs - RAID5

Network Map

  • This map may seem rather complicated at first but is built this way out of necessity. I had a pre-existing network which serves my parents and my wife and I. The existing network had to remain stable throughout my learning curve with LMCE and could not be down for a 4 hour re-install, or more... As I am able, and stability permits, I will migrate devices to the LMCE network.
  • The Ubuntu NAS exists within both networks to serve files to PCs in the original network as well as the LMCE network, it's also my original Mythtv backend.
  • The laptops attach wirelessly to the LMCE network to run Windows Orbiter.
