This Pinned Topic has become an invaluable resource for me. It has network help, skins help, ... most everything you want to know about XBMC.

actually XBMC has a nice fan control system, it lets you set the temperature you want to keep it and it adjusts the fan speed accordingly, i set mine to 148, kinda high, but it keeps the fan quiet and xbox running smoothly

Good call LordVader. I just realized something. Most of my LEDs in my box run off of the fan power. Using this automatic fan control, I can have a visual indicator of how hot my xbox is. Sweet!

For a full list of what xbmc can do, check This Info Page for details.

However, this page is a bit outdated, so always read the changelog.txt and readme1st.txt when a new build comes out. There hasn't been a straight update to xbmc, more of fixing minor niggles and building on current technologies, there is now dvd support, but as always, it is still in the teething stage.

- Soz i havent been around lately, been away!

Thats the only thing I would add to it for myself. Other than that the xbox can do everything w/ XBMC+Avalaunch+DVDx2. H

I think he means DVDx2 as in the donglefree version.

I believe he means DVDx2, the dongle-free DVD player, but XBMC does that as well. Now that XBMC handles menus, I think you never need to exit XBMC... Except maybe some web browsing, which is being taken care of by a Linksboks-XBMC hybrid some people are building

Seriously now, you can always run your games from within XBMC...

Just wanted to know some specs for the PC side of current setups that people are using. CPU speed, memory, etc.
