I am looking at adding a lan-PC in our kitchen. I have already purchased a touch screen, but want some help in configuring the PC to run it. Here's what I'm looking at. Please offer advice and suggestions:
Location
- the PC will be located in the recroom directly below the kitchen (will extend monitor and touchscreen serial cables)
- the touch screen will be mounted on the wall
Hardware Config that I'm looking at (within WAF budget)
- Celeron 2.6
- 512 memory
- 40 gig drive
- integrated sound and video
- wireless keyboard and mouse
Main Use
- HS Phone (message taking/call display)
- TV Card
- web cruising
- HS control of house
- mainlobby?
- VR?
Questions:
- any issues with the configuration?
- the PC will be on the LAN, located about 50 feet away from the main HS PC....should I move the HS application to reside on the new kitchen machine with HSP?
- recommendations on TV card? I don't need or want PVR on this machine, but I do want a remote (that will go through the floor?)
Please feel free to jump on this! Thanks
