I decided to pimp my server.

Since I have MCE 2005 and My Movie 2 installed on my MediaSmart server, I decided to tweak some hardware. I installed my Popcorn Hour in the server.

I just have to finish the install. make a cable to connect the main board in the video connector. run a network cable for the popcorn out the back between the USB ports and the Esata. Power for the popcorn.

I loose the top drive bay but that's OK, 3TB plus the Esata is plenty.

That is the topic of a thread on the Popcorn Hour forums - that the text 'Buffering..." should be changed to "Buttering...." to continue the popcorn motif.

Looks like you changed the power connector as well??? And what is the grey cable to the left of the power?

Looks like a MSS VGA cable to me.

Did I understand your 1st post correctly? You have WinXP 2005 MCE running on the MSS hardware? If so, why?
