@pony an HTPC

@thewaifutyphoon As in home theater? I already have a bluray player with internet, but I guess that's possible too.

@pony Yeah, having it specially set to run XBMC and run an HDMI connection from it to your TV and either having all of your media on it or a network connected hard drive that it can connect to

@thewaifutyphoon I already am able to connect an external HD to my bluray player, but a fully functional laptop would be more awesome since I could probably use it with my UBS remote control. I dunno. Now I'm torn. I suppose I could use my old desktop PC for what I had in mind and devote this laptop to being an HTPC, or I could use my old desktop as the HTPC. Either way I'd still need to figure out how to get my switch to work with my homeplug network connection.
