Some weeks ago I posted that I would be installing a home theater PC in my family room. I wanted it to be easy to use and completely family friendly. My entire family can use it, including my wife who doesn't share the same love for technology as I do.
I installed a custom 46" 1900x1200 wide screen display with a Voodoo ARIA. We had a frame built around the 46" to maintain the "art" effect and the ARIA is flush mounted below the screen. The system is fantastic, I have a set of 5.1 Creative Labs speakers hooked up and it's all ready to roll.
The Voodoo ARIA can be configured online with multiple drives, and it includes a fantastic DVD archival system. It also uses the latest Turion 64 processor from AMD which makes it deadly silent. I can't even tell when the PC is on in this configuration, it's very deceiving.
Eventually I will be posting an article about HDTV, Satellite, OTA Satellite and all the rest when I get a chance to play further.

Mr. Sood,
I recently read an article about your experience with Graphic Card shortage and one had to buy a DELL XPS system to get the ATI graphics card. That was too funny.
I have an interesting proposition for you. I am the CTO of an upcoming Services company(theiconsortium.com)
I am about to relinquish all my ties with DELL ( I was suppose to mastermind their proficiency lab for Oracle EnterpriseOne in Austin.
I willing to do the same arrangement with VOODOOPC. Bsically position you directly into Server Market Line and bundle the vmware configurations as a turnkey sandbox solution for prospective customers.
Drop me a line at bsundaram@theiconsortium.com
Regards,
Bala Sundaram
I am having trouble loading the ATOM feed for your blog. It currently only points to an image. Could you please check the configuration?
Thanks
Hey this one is really nice. And may I say this... I love the rack, the coilor is so warm and cozy. I can't wait for the HDTV satellite article. Thanks!
The ugly PC case doesn't match the nice entertainment center. Trust me, your wife hates it. It's like putting a ban saw in the kitchen. It just doesn't fit.
