Comment: So simple to build
Comment by: Matt
Date: 23/05/2006
Just finished building a media center system using an ePC945-m8. Probably the simplest and fastest build I've ever done and I've done about 100 systems for friends and family in my life. Take the top off, stick in an Intel VIIV cpu, 2 strips of DDR2 memory, a SATA 300 hard drive, a DVDRW and a low profile TV card and you're done. I've put MS media centre on the one I built which works well with the features on the remote etc. Dare I say it, but most people with a basic idea of PC components could build with this unit. The unit itself looks like a normal DVD player when it is built. It does look good under the TV and I'm a bit reluctant to hand it over to my cousin actually, I really like this PC, but then I won't get paid so I'd better take it round later!!! :D -Matt-
