Media Center Desktop PCs

Brian asked:


In other words, if i put linux or another OS on there, and I have a keyboard and mouse, can I use it like a PC? IE-desktop, email, youtube, videos, web-browsing etc?

I know that hooking up my Xbox via a Media Center Extender will allow me to swap pictures, music , and record TV and such. But what if I want to play my Xbox games? Will it show thru my monitor? If not, is there a way to hook up my Xbox to my LCD monitor? Will playing the Xbox damage the monitor?

bmgleason asked:


I am using a Sony Vaio Media Center PC and I just installed Roller Coaster Tycoon 2 onto it. It seems as though almost every full-screen gameI play gets cut-off the screen. The top and left of the screen are missing and there is “empty” black space on the right and bottom, almost as if someone “pushed the picture” on the screen up and to the left.
