The random babbling of Mark “Phunky” Harwood
Project PkyHD
23Jul2007 Filed under: Technology Author: PhunkyWhat have you gotta do when you move into your new apartment only to find that you old TV looks tiny in your new front room?
You buy a new TV of course!
This is the SONY 50″ E2010 which is picked up from Comet for £720 as it was ex-display, yes i know its Rear Projection but i like it 
Its HD enabled but only to 720p which is fine to me tbh as what HD content is there atm for free? None!
So i am now also building a MediaPC to go with it 
one thats HDMI enabled!!
So i bought the following:
KeySonic 2.4Ghz Wireless Compact Keyboard
ABIT Fatal1ty F-I90HD
Antec NSK2400 MATX Desktop Case
Intel E2140 Pentium Dual Core
Linksys 54mbps Wireless Card
Ebuyer 1GB KIT PC2-6400 Extra Value Ram
Ebuyer Extra Value HDMI to HDMI Cable 2m
Not bad for £256!
I have a couple of Hard Drives that i have put in this myself, so that cut costs a lot.
But im sure you will agree thats a crazy spec Media PC for the price + full HDMI!
I will get some pics of this when i rebuild it later this week as i killed the motherboards bios on Friday and am waiting on a new one from Abit.
Update!
I managed to get some picture up on my image site which you can view here

Hey, I got to your from your post of FireDTV. How did the install of the FloppyDTV S2 go? Did you get it in the end, and does it work?

Yes i got it and it worked, but i sold it on within a week as i didnt feel it was up to scratch and tbh it confused the sh1t out of the Mrs.
If it was wife friendly and didnt cash so much with the CAM in use i would have kept it.
Thankfully i was able to sell it on without a loss.
