Aim
To make an epic gaming and media hub ftw. But also to make better use of the gaming, audio, video hardware and our new abundance of space! I have made, tested and installed this rig already. Took about 3 hours tops. Yay!
Who?
What?
Xbox
Xbox hooked up to projector and amp Xbox Streams Audio from smb://lovelace/Music (should this change to babbage to save power??) The Xbox can scrobble to Last.fm Xbox Streams Video from smb://lovelace/Videos (ditto??) Xbox Streams Pictures from smb://lovelace/Pictures (ditto??) Xbox has ~20 xbox video games (ROMS) installed on the local HDD. Audio and Video can be streamed from the internet, connect to ip_addy:port.
PS2
-PS2 hooked up to projector and amp for gaming -Plays DVD movies = mini cinema.
Where?
-The old workshop / dirty room.
Why?
Need you ask!? Hmph.
How?
Connection Overview: Video
Connection Overview: Audio
Connection Overview: Power
Connection Overview: Ethernet
Roadmap:
- Add more consoles with time.
- Maybe get a Nintendo wii in?
- Xbox 360 (there is one in the space but it has a red ring when it is plugged in- guess that is only because it has no video cable, any help with a cable from anyone?)
- Get a bigger component (Vid=Yellow, Left=White, Right=Red) Video Splitter (e.g. 5 to 1) to help avoid unplugging.
- Encapsulate / protect the consoles a bit better to protect them from beer spillage and generally being knocked.
