Contrary to all of the other information I was able to find (on official documents AND on the internet) you are NOT supposed to install Windows XP first, then request a downgrade from the product activation center. You are supposed to call Microsoft Customer Service at 1-800-936-5700 and request a downgrade BEFORE you install Windows XP.

My C-200 video didn’t go into as much depth about what makes this unit new and interested as I would have liked, so I took some time to further investigate the “guts” of the C-200.

I’m pretty excited to bring you my Popcorn Hour C-200 unboxing. I was very impressed with the original Popcorn Hour, and I can imagine this new one is more of the same & better!

I know I’m a little late to the party, but I got an opportunity to get my hands on a Core i7 Extreme 975 and I thought I’d unbox it just for fun :p

Today I unbox a retail copy of Windows 7 Professional. Unlike the OEM copies, it contains a 32-bit and 64-bit disc, and it also has a cool retail box.

Yeah I know. It’s a fan. These are great fans though, and sometimes we have 5-pack pricing that makes them VERY affordable

Still experimenting with different cameras. This webcam promises high quality 720p video. Will it live up to it?!

So this video was shot with the Lifecam Cinema WebCam from Microsoft. I bought this thing for Batman: AA, but I ended up finishing the game with the Mouse/Keyboard before it came in stock, so oh well…

I’ve heard a lot about this thing and I wanted to see it in person. That’s pretty much it.

Well I couldn’t resist. Grabbed an Obsidian 800D. That doesn’t mean I’ll be getting rid of my TJ07 machine. Just putting together a new machine for another member of the household. Iteration number one (basically only some final specs, no cable management, no liquid cooling, fail build) is done. The machine is functional but there’s a LOT of work to do… Here are some pics. I’ll be updating when I have some time to get a better video card (thinking of grabbing a 4870 X2 used at a good price) and when my special order liquid cooling parts finally arrive
