so after a lot of heartache i’ve decided to build a HTPC. the choice wasn’t easy as i have been using the PS3 for a long time as my media center, but after too many codec woes, i’ve finally decided to demote the PS3 and build a proper HTPC. i’m not sure if i’m done with the HTPC, but for now i’m pretty happy with what i’ve made. details after the jump!
