Wow. It would less ugly without all that lined, pattern shit. Would still be tacky as hell.

Also, the keyboard looks horrible to type on.

some of them don't look so bad

but i think you'd have to be a fashion designer or interior designer or something to be able to use them in a public place and not look silly

Finally going to attempt setting up XBMC tonight.  Gonna use this skin.  Its going to take overnight or longer to sync my media so I'll update how it goes tomorrow.

My laptop in my dorm room, connected to an external monitor and 4 external drives atm.

Ahh nice. It's pretty awesome for movies. I've had some trouble finding album art for downloaded music though.

Im kinda worried about how its performance will be with high bitrate 1080p and its output quality but I guess I'll find out soon.  I prefer using windows explorer + wmp for music actually, I still like it better than any dedicated program

Just tested a 9.6Mbps Blu Ray rip. Seemed pretty good to me. It's probably nowhere close to the bitrate of the 50GB ones you have though.

I have maybe 5 movies over 25GB and they would be able to play on my laptop no matter what I use so I'm not concerned with that

But it depends on user to user, my laptop struggles with 1080p when I'm not using efficient codecs so itll be up to whether the program is light enough.  Taking a helluva long time to scan too, its like 5% of the way and at least 1hr in.  And I disabled youtube trailers too

Yeah mine took a long time to scan (and that's only for ~100GB of movies).

Just checked and XBMC (portable version) uses 37MB of RAM while idling and 80MB when playing a 1080p mkv video. 65-75% of my CPU mind you

Your laptop should be fine.

HP keyboards are the worst after about a year.. keys pop off and are next to impossible to put back on. I've seen it happen to 3 out of 3 lappys.
