Sorry, I'm too lazy to clean up right now.

But, awaiting better spec hardware. Right now its running on a donated 733mhz G4 tower from work. I put 1.5gb but that only makes it run more efficiently, not faster. So HD content is out, however it makes a PERFECT playback device for all those call F-body movies out there (Specially stuff from F-body Hideout) :yay: As well as playback of Top Gear/Fifth Gear episodes and whatever else I want. Smile

The main purpose of this is to eventually hook up a Xbox HD dvd drive up to it, and playback HD dvd's on a upgraded machine(not this one, or even a mac, but a much higher spec PC) Possibly running MythTV.

BTW, makes gaming on PC a whole new experience. Smile True home theater surround sound on a 52" screen.

I have a 1TB raid array full of music/movies/etc. Its perfectly quiet, the couch is comfortable.

I don't have a 360. Just a regular Xbox..

Figured it was time for a TV sooner than a 360.

Paid $400 for the 52" HD too. Smile If you can't tell, I love Top Gear/Fifth Gear. Far more entertaining than America's boring car shows.

It has a 6" scratch on the upper portion of the protective cover, easy to replace. Other than that works perfect, is a $1000 TV new.

Not alot of features, but it works.

And yes, that white TransAm is mine. However the crack in the front bumper is going bye bye.
