Media Center Project: Complete!

After many months [years maybe] of working to build a Windows Media Center PC, I now have the final piece of the puzzle. I have installed a quad-tuner card from Ceton which just came in this morning after literally months of waiting. Instead of being release in May, it was released last week and only just now arrived at the house.

Since I am working from home today, I took a coffee break to install the card – and that’s about all the time it took. Power down, insert card, power up, install driver & update BIOS, restart, update Media Center tuner configuration. Start recording four shows at once! Woo Hoo!

Project: Media Center – DONE!

Next up: Project: Kitchen Backsplash… waiting on ordered tile.

New Dishwasher

One more item in our kitchen remodel has been finished and that’s the dishwasher. Since we had to replace it, we went with stainless as we are eventually going to replace the appliances with stainless ones for the rest.

We’ve had it installed now for a while, but since I’ve been lazy about blogging for a while, I thought I’d share a picture of the new dishwasher finally.

Next up will either be tile or some electrical work.
