I resurrected my media center.
It’s an older single core workstation that was fine seven years ago, but now it’s a little pokey for modern games.
So I’ve turned it into a media center with Windows 7 Home Premium. It’s not bad, although of late I’ve repurposed it into a casual slash indie games station. Aquaria, Bejeweled, Peggle, and any number of less graphically intensive games.
It’s nice, although now I’m thinking about just rebuilding a new rig and using the television as a display for PC games. This leads to all sorts of interesting configurations for mouse and keyboard games as well as being able to lounge on the couch and do some surfing.
On the other hand, why did I build that standing desk?
