What you planning on using it for Dym?

It's an SFF I stole (hur hur hur) off Jarp which I've transplanted into the lounge to work as a media box to view offsite backups...

S-Video out from a 9500 pro/9700 GFX into a scart converter which will be plugged into the mess of wires which constitute the TV...


So far MCE is working well, it can read and stream the shared files off Phoenix but so far I've not managed to get the TV to recognise the input (Only tried for about 20 minutes yesterday though).

I think there's a problem with the MCE install so will try and sort that tomorrow (it said the GFX drivers weren't compatible.... latest ATIs...) and has brought up some other errors.

Overall though I've been liking MCE, the GUI is nice, if a little restricted in how much you can customise it (unless I'm missing something).

Might look into VGA->SCART if that's any good, really want to get this thing working...
