Anyone know of anything like this? I was going to use Media Center Edition but Im only using an old Athlon 1000 with 256 mb RAM and a crap video card. Anyone know of a way to mod windows GUI (something like windows blinds etc..) that makes a good media center GUI?
cheers,

Pete

I really like it. There are a couple of problems atm; the biggest being that it doesnt support 5.1ch sound in WMV files but otherwise it seems v. good :)
