When DC Universe Online went into beta, I put it into rotation on the living room machine.

I normally keep a slightly lower-end machine with a different OS for beta testing anyway, which goal it would also fulfill. With that said, I was immediately intrigued by trying MMOs from the couch. The idea was to hook it to our HDTV and watch streaming movies from the comfort of the couch, which I can assure you it does wonderfully. As my fiance also builds his own computers, there were enough parts in our combined PC graveyard to pick up a basic case and a wireless keyboard with a built-in roller-ball mouse and slap together a media PC for the living room. When I did my last upgrade, there was a spare motherboard, 2 gigs of RAM, a 2.8Ghz dual-core AMD processor, and a 512 mb nVidia card left over.


First off, let me preface this by saying that my entire controller project started because I build my own PCs.
