http://www.applemediacenter.co... for 2010! This video came out March 2009, but since then the blog post I was talking about has turned into a full blown site! There is WAY more info on the website than there ever was in the initial post. Get your Media Center hooked up!

Emulation looks like shit on HDTVsArcade Emulation looks second best on a 480i CRT with Component input, a MovieShow PC VGA XGA to TV Video scan converter and a CSY-2100.The only way it could look better would be if you had an arcade monitor and a PC with an ArcadeVGA 3000.I have a cheap ass scan converter and metal slug looks better on my 480i TV than my "HD" monitor.

@656er This video is old, so I would not recommend getting anything that doesn't have a Core 2 Duo. Although if you can get a new Mini, even better!

Great set up! I was wondering what are the specs of your Mac Mini. I know it's a 1.66 ghz but how much ram and hdd space is it using. Saw some cheap Mini's on Ebay but would I need to upgrade the ram or should I just save up and get a new Mini? Thanks in advance!

@mattarrr Nice! I'm looking forward to seeing the new and improved setup. Just subscribed to your channel.

@lostmars84 Haha, you don't need to tell me he is a moron. That was abundantly clear!!! I'm glad you like the setup. I really need to get around to posting my new and improved setup. It's 200% more bonkers.

Dude, I think that your setup is sweet. The guy who says that Apple TV is better than a Mac Mini is stupid. Maybe for his needs, Apple TV can suit those needs but in no way can Apple TV be considered better than a Mac Mini. Kudos on the sweet setup. I actually ordered a Mac Mini last night to use as a media center. Can't wait to get it setup. Plex looks amazing!!

@mattarrr Like I said, in '09 I wouldve thought ur setup was sick, in fact I even started to pursue making a media center similar. But when the ATV2 came out and I really looked at both, the answer was clear. So clear in fact, a month after getting 1 for the living room I got 1 for my bedroom. If you wanted to do that, you'd have to spend another $1k+, why not just spend $99? As far as the 1080 goes, it will be unlocked soon...I cant tell the difference though.
