And now, I am the master AV geek. Yes, I'm writing this using my TV as my display. The "old" computer is now a multimedia device. It's not perfect. The wireless mouse & keyboard do not have sufficient range to really sit at my couch and relax. I'm considering options there. Maybe an extra-long USB cable?
There were several challenges with this project. Wiring the ethernet cable was the big challenge, but it's a lot nicer than using wireless. The other issue was setup: picking the right cables and isolating the ground loop (speaker hum.) I fixed the ground loop by carefully choosing how to connect everything and made sure to plug the whole system into one high-end surge supressor.
Anyway, now my TV project is complete. I can watch online video and download stuff straight to watch on the TV. MLB.TV should be awesome for the '08 season.
Damn, I've got a ton of cleaning to do.
