It’s probably too late to make any serious Christmas recommendations but I think there may still be room for a “Geek Gather Top Tip”. I recently purchased a set of Audio-Technica ATH-ANC7 noise-canceling headphones, which I find absolutely fabulous. I also own a set of Sennheiser PCS-250s, which just recently broke.

Hey, folks! I just grabbed an old all-in-one pc off the scrap heap, and I am going to try to convert it into something actually useful – a touchscreen bar-top jukebox.

Tech specs — It’s got a honking POWERHOUSE under the hood! Celeron 566 with 512 of PC133 on an ultra modified mATX framework (I think). It’s a crap heap, but hey, it comes with a 15.4″ LCD screen with a 2.5″ flat bezel frame and a decently sturdy and quiet case. I may be stripping this down and airbrushing some nice enamel on it, but who knows. The value price of FREE was well within my budget!
Any sage advice from the GG Open Source crowd would be greatly appreciated! I would think it would be cool if there was some Media Center like apps out there that could run on this, that shows album art with a customizable GUI.
Any ideas?
