cpd2009 Wrote:Well, I need to find Audrey's place first. I will attempt one last time at a media PC, with Audrey as test subject. Not full MCE, but for R0/R1 DVD playback and storage of all my DivX TV recordings. Thus, said PC will stay connected to Anna-Lena, though I may set up either a network file share or a Homegroup to ease transferring files between all my PCs.

I already decided on the 2 port USB KVM for Lilly and Jasper, but now I insist on DVI. I am now willing to find and pay for an expensive DVI KVM. I am seeing how much clearer DVI is thanks to Lilly. Plus, with VGA, Jasper doesn't detect the HP S2031's resolution correctly. He's stuck at 1280x1024. I know he outputs at full 1600x900 resolution on DVI.

I appreciate the suggestion, but I can only handle so many PCs. If Audrey does work out as a media PC, then I really don't see a need for another one down the road unless if it's a really vintage one like an Apple II or Mac Plus. Theoretically I could get a Linux PC, but I would prefer that to be on an late 2000s laptop rather than a desktop.
Noted. I'd suggest using Lily for the MCPC instead (the HD3000 graphics can only take you so far. On the other hand, Audrey has not yet reached her full potential yet- you've yet to get her a compatible card to do CrossfireX/Dual Graphics). Slap on an Elgato USB tuner or two and a cheap USB DVD-RW drive, and XBMC/Kodi, and she'll be a serviceable MCPC. Especially since she already has a built-in IR sensor and a reasonably large hard drive. And well, with a wireless USB keyboard and mouse, you can still do video editing on her (which will work out too since you will then have a large screen for viewing).

And yes, there's a Mac-native version of XBMC/Kodi.

It's a win-win solution that way. Lily gets used for video editing and MCPC, Audrey keeps her audio duties (and possibly gaming), and Jasper gets put back to use as a retro box.

Seriously though, that would be neato, though I don't have a spare rig to test a KVM on.
Indeed. The power tastes kinda awesome. Sparta
