Media PC Dream

I have been thinking about a new project for my home. I would like to create a Media PC. Basically a computer that will work along side (or replace) most of my electronics. It should be able to handle MP3s, DVDs, Audio/Video Streaming, TV tuner, TV recording and playback, gaming and WebSurfing. I would like to get all of this and more into a box and then connect it to a nice sized plasma screen. In doing this, controlling all aspects of the Media system will become centralized. Instead of using a remote control, you can use a wireless mouse control. If the Media PC is built correctly, we can also eliminate the need for a multitude of wires connecting various components to the TV and Receiver. I found an article on T3’s website that can be a helpful guide for completing the project.
Enjoy!
