A common discussion with Media Center is where does the PC actually belong in the home?  It has been thought by some that people in general don’t want a PC in the Living Room, they would rather have a Set-top Box (STB).  Then, there are some people who think that a PC needs to be in the Living Room.  It is after called an “HTPC” for a reason.  This, of course ignores the fact that the majority of people don’t have a true “Home Theater” to speak of.

As I’ve said in the past a major advantage of Media Center PC’s + Media Center Extenders is that it can fit into just about everyone’s setup.  You can take your standard PC in your Home Office and connect Media Center Extenders in the rest of your home.  You can take the Media Center PC (HTPC) that is designed to hit in with the rest of your components and put it in your Living Room, and then you can connect Media Center Extenders in the other rooms of your home.  Or, you can put Media Center PC’s everywhere.  There are also several other configurations that can happen.

What does your setup look like?  Is it what you ideally want, or would you change it based around hardware that might not be released yet (ex. v2 Extenders).
