...I have a DVD player, CD Player, A/V Amplifier sitting in my front room all linked to my LCD TV and Sky Digi Box. They all work fine but it does take up quite a bit of room and I'd realistically like an HTPC set up to bring my multimedia module into one unit! Enter Windows Media Center 2005! My setup consists of a Silverstone LC16M Case which houses an Asus A8N-SLi Motherboard, Hauppage PVR 250, Maxtor Diamond Max 250GB Hard Drive, 1GB Crucial Dual Channel DDR Memory to name just the main core of my system.

...a download manager built in so you can grab big files over multiple download sessions, a TV tuner program, and a web radio station finder. With the easy-to use interface, masses of options for such things as fading between songs, and the obligatory pretty visuals when you're playing music, Media Jukebox would be more than level with its competitors even on the standard filetypes - and when you consider all the extra formats it can handle, it's no wonder that it's now my number one choice for all sorts of audio files. What Media Jukebox does with audio files, it also does with video formats.
