Title: Media Director bare bones system
Post by: finsdown on February 15, 2008, 07:10:59 PM
First I want to say how much I have enjoying creating my home media system. I appreciate the work that has gone into making this a reality.  The learning curve was high (about1 1/2 months into it so far) but I'm a fast learner.  ;D

I've got my Core/hybrid going and a media director for the office. Next I am going to put together another m/d this weekend  for the master bedroom.

I found a barebones system that I'm going to try out. Here is the link to the specs of the system I purchased:  http://www.compusa.com/applications/searchtools/item-details.asp?EdpNo=3584463&body=MAIN#detailspecs (http://www.compusa.com/applications/searchtools/item-details.asp?EdpNo=3584463&body=MAIN#detailspecs).

From the looks of it, I think it will work. I will report back my experience.

Should work just fine..  The 6100 will help with no video driver issues..  too bad they didn't step it up to a 6150, then you'd have dvi-out.  Very similar to my setup with regards to specs..
