Re: Xbox DVD Playback kit (Xbox DVD remote and dongle)
You can take the xbox reciever apart and attach it to a usb cable (the dongle is usb) . But as i still use the xbox case stripped out i kept the dongle in tact and just soldered the wires from the control port to a usb cable

Re: XBian - Small, Fast, Lightweight XBMC solution
Unbenannt.jpg How should I setup a 32GB SD Card? To write data on the card, I prefer to do that with my Windows PC. I don't know if that works, if not, then over Samba. I would also use gparted (as i dont use windows) then move the swap to the end and resize the ext4 to use all the unallocated space

i have already installed it, but it was more of a suggestion as it is a great inclusion for a dedicated media distro

Re: Instructions for building XBMC for Raspbian
As there wasn't one single image available (I hate split zip's ;) ), I decided to create one. It's a 4GB sd-card image, packaged into an 784MB 7zip. It's based on Pisces Image, and updated via apt-get yesterday. The rest is 99% clean pisces+xbmc Instructions: Write it to your sdcard ( http://elinux...

Re: mini itx psu
I am not sure about the power, but i have looked at different ways and have decided on a powered hub (7 ports) as this can run external usb hdd (2.5") . But i am unsure a blu-ray would work as linux is unable to play blu-ray discs
