Well, my plan is to actually make this a sweet Xmas present for my parents. I figure if I do 1 or 2 themes every day then I can get it up to 100 or so movies. Buy them an external HD, a wireless gamepad to control it all, and the cables to connect my mother's PC to the gigantic TV they've got. Should be pretty cool no? Of course, I also plan on keeping it all for myself as well! I'll also make a torrent of all my themes once I've got a bunch. (Complete with edited trailer videos.) |

You should get a Windows Media Center remote/Keyboard. They are wireless and send keyboard commands to the PC. I think that would be a better approach than the gamepad/ |

(Apologies if this comes across 'harsh' trying not to be but not sure how to word it another way) The reason this hasn't been done is because a ton of media based front ends already exist that do similar things, and are partially automated (in the least) in the way that they do it. Meedio/Meedios is the one I use. XBMC is another. There's one on Linuz that I compltely forget the name of. I can enter 100 movies into Meedios in about...an hour. Now, biggest thing that's different would be the immediate showing of the preview and the wheel. But, for a media PC that's interfacing to your home theatre setup, and going to be used by many people, I find something more menu driven and simple is better. |

This is pretty cool. I scored all 190 Three Stooges episodes on 40 DVD's a few years ago from a UK seller. One of my previous arcades had all the episodes loaded & thats what I am going to do again but as a winter project on a day when the roads are too snowed over to drive into work (yay!). Hyperspin looks so cool, I like it. |

Also, when the roads here snow over, I'll have time to see a few ;) |
