I am having my kitchen redone at the moment (my wife’s idea) and I am thinking of putting Media Center in to it. In the old kitchen I had an old laptop with a broken screen and a monitor, but it was messy and will not do (again my wife’s thinking!) for the new kitchen. So I was pleased to see Steve Linday’s Media Center kitchen photos on his on10 blog. I was thinking of doing the same thing, using a Linksys DMA2100 and a small TV in the kitchen. Hopefully the wireless network will be good enough for this to be useable as I can’t run cat 5 in to the kitchen
Checkout Steve’s pictures and if anybody has any suggestion for Media Center in the kitchen let me know

Welcome to Show 100!
Well, we made it! We got together ...
Will Digital downloads will be Blu-ray’s downfall? I was reading a CNET post on why digital downloads…
I have done a lot of installs of the all n one sony mounted on the wall in the kitchen, or the touchscreen HP but it takes up bit of counterspace.
I think I would go for a Extender and a monitor
One of our clients recently had something similar installed alongside the ‘Star Galaxy’ granite worktop we installed for them. His monitor was a black Samsung and he’d had it built into the wall, instead of on an arm. Not sure how they did that but the black/black mix looked very cool, highly recommended!

I would not suggest having a TV that is part of your fridge freezer – there are quite a few around these days and if the fridge is broken then it can render the tv useless.
