If it’s not enough spending 10 or 12 hrs a day in front of a computer at work, as soon as i get home i jump back on and do some web related work, this time in more comfortable surrounds. I often get torn between television and the computer so i decided to kill 2 birds with one stone when i bought my latest set-up. I opted for the Sony Living Room PC which plugs into a Sony Bravia 40″ High Definition  flat screen sitting on a Sony Theatre System Television Stand. I have to say after having this set-up for the lat 3 months i’m extermely happy and wouldn’t change a thing. The 40″ HD (1920×180) screen gives a fantastic picture when i’m doing some web stuff and having Windows Media Centre allows me to have the T.V or a DVD playing at the same time. All this while kicking back on the leather chaise lounge makes things pretty comfotable on the home front. All in all it’s a pretty swanky set-up. The PC plugs straight into the back of the TV and the table hooks it all up together with some tremendous sounds. Internet wired directly in courtesy of the fantastic 100mg up/down fibre-optic broadband we get in Japan with unlimited download for about USD$30 … needless to say bitlord gets a hammering! Wireless keyboard and remote control to change between any and all functions means you don’t have to leave your arm chair. Standard the PC comes with 160gb of storage and there’s an option to get a further 500gb if you need. Storage is cheap here and i already had a 300gb external drive so i bolt that in the back and we’re set. Only thing to do is set up the wireless, i have all the hardware but i’ve been too pre-occupied with the net of late, specifically getting this site in order using WordPress. Guess i’ll get around to it in a few weeks time, more than likely when the weather deteriorates and we hit winter. I orignally took a few pics of the set-up at home but photographing a TV isn’t so easy i discovered. I’ll try and get a picture over the weekend with natural light and get it up in a future post. I will say though if you’re remotely interested in this sort of set-up then have a good look at the Sony Living Room PC as an option.
