Peter, thanks for the offer, I have replied privately to you. Mark Threadgold Of all the things I have ever lost, The one I miss most is my mind... -----Original Message----- From: access-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:access-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Peter Sent: 31 December 2008 12:46 To: access-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [access-uk] Re: Media pc recommendations I've got an Acer Aspire Idea 510, looks very similar to a DVD player. Fantastic piece of kit as has input for everything you could imagine, including HDMI, two scart sockets, lots of pohono in and out sockets etc. However I don't think it's very quiet at all and I certainly haven't put mine near the TV for that reason. other than the noise though I love it. Looking at selling mine if your in the UK.
