New rig
New system has passed the DVD test. I watched Go with some friends (Erica Tsai, Cyrus Hall, Dave Van Wie) using a borrowed copy of PowerDVD and it worked flawlessly. No skips, pretty good image too. Therefor my old Sigma Designs Hollywood Plus is being put out to pasture (though it may be added to my Debian box later). Very happy with the system so far. I’ve been playing some Deus Ex to feel the speed =) Still looking for someone local who sells 2-port KVM switches. May break down and go for the 4-port. Though that may encourage my packrat tendancies (I’ve saved 2 486s from the dumpster now).
