Media Center in the Kitchen

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

    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.
