HTPC Completed!
It’s been awhile since I said the last third of my HTPC was “planned”. I can finally say it has been completed!
Firstly, my brother-in-law and I wired from my office down to my living room. It went from the wall in my office up to the attic, over to the back-right of the house, down to the basement crawlspace, then up to the floor of right behind my TV. Then I put in a 5 port switch, which I’m using to connect my Mac Mini (HTPC), Laptop (wired > wireless), and eventually Xbox 360.
I bought a used Dell Bluetooth Keyboard and Mouse combo (pics) on Anandtech for $35.50 shipped (goes for $89.00 new before shipping from Dell). It setup on OSX in about 2 minutes, and I was able to use it without problems from my couch ~15 feet away.
It works great, I’m surprised. Now that it’s all done, there’s only maintenance and improvements.

Your my hero! Any thoughts on being able to mount a FBSD drive on OSX? I had to cut and run when I moved, left the server took the 3/4TB of drives, that are full!
I need my MTV!

I usually Google when I come to a problem like that, and it’s been good to me so far.
Email me if you can’t figure it out in a few days.
