Alan started this and I’d like to bring it back. If only to remind me what new flicks I need to add to the top of my Netflix queue! Every week I will post the Blu-ray releases for the week and post links to purchase them if you so choose. The links provided lead to Amazon. You can support MissingRemote.com […]
Read moreNot the most traditional case when one thinks of a HTPC, however many people prefer the tower for all the benefits it brings, and if you have a closet or place to hide it out of place (or maybe it matches your subwoofer) then the only thing that matters is that it’s quiet.
