Here’s how I’ve set up my entertainment center/pc environment.

My components are in (3) Mid Atlantic racks; all matte black (the racks slide out on tracks for access - very nice). So I bought the Mid Atlantic rack mount pc enclosure and built a pc inside it. I purposely keep this pc running old hardware so that I don’t force my users to be on the latest fast hardware. This unit is a 551mhz Pentium III with 128mb. It’s running the current version of Muzikbrowzer 2.

Soundblaster audio (using the digital audio out) and an ATI video card to get composite video out to my 61″ tv. (Still don’t have HDTV. Someday, sigh)

Using an Irman for remote control I drilled a hole in one of the rack panels and mounted the Irman behind the hole.

I tried the Pronto Pro universal remote, but don’t care for the touch screen. I’ve been using the MX-500 UniverslRemoteControl.com remote for several years and have been happy with it.

In the pic you can see how I programmed the 10 lcd labeled buttons for Muzikbrowzer functions. Plus I find that the 5 function “thumb disc” works nicely for Muzikbrowzer navigation.
