    Free HTPC Software : Digital Home Server

    Free easy Web development tool?

    +1 for Wordpress. If you insist on using a client software (I suppose mainly because you need to work offline as well) I can recommend NetObjects Fusion, which comes in a free version (and is surprisingly rich in features). Soitjes.

A good indicator of the quality is the keyboard. Often very bad on those cheap machines. I now went back to Dell (sorry...

    Project - Digital Home Server - touchscreen controlled

    It's funny that you think it's spam. You're not the first one, I've been banned before. It seems that people just don't believe that somebody would build everything from scratch. Maybe I should change the picture, and show this one ? So that it looks more "home-built" ? HTPC with...
