Hi All,

It is with great pride that I present our store eHome.  We focus on HTPCs and HD sources, providing a full range of computer enclosures, parts and accessories.  

We currently carry the following brands:

- Polk Audio (http://www.polkaudio.com/)
- Thecus Network Storage Solutions (http://www.thecus.com/)
- Western Digital Drives (http://www.wdc.com)

We also provide services, particularly:
- HTPC design, assembly and upgrading: we provide you solutions that would fit your needs as well as your budgets.  We ensure that Wife-Acceptance-Factor is a major design consideration;
- Networking consultation, installation and setup: we can help you plan out how to network your home, whether its a condo unit, a townhouse, or your rest house in Boracay (ooh la la)

Our shop and showroom is located at the Ground Floor of the Annapolis Wilshire Plaza, at Annapolis Street, Greenhills, San Juan.  Its right across Fountain International School and is quite near EDSA (Southbound).  For people with cars, we have parking slots available at the front, and for people who prefer commuting, we are but a short walk from the Santolan MRT station.

[otepsy]

Sir Gren,

Wow, you were still open at 10pm!

[gren]

yes we do, we're still evaluating it, along with another nmt :>  i'd have to say, i'd go for nmt C over the elektron -- its just... nicer.

i'm just updating the firmware on the elektron -- apparently, the firmware is available in their chinese site, but they didn't bother to put it up on their english site.  so hopefully, all goes well and i'll prolly just use it to download stuff at home.

all in all.... i still prefer the pch.  i'm sure elektron meant well by customising the UI a bit more, but i'm not happy with their UI.  for example, sources are in icon form but you could not identify which particular sources -- i still prefer text, at least you know which network path you'rea dealing with.

but, on the plus side, you have to do less 'cable dancing' with the elektron as it allows for easier switching between 'tv-modes'  this is something i could not do with the pch -- as the pch requires you to switch to component cable first then back to hdmi if you encounter the black screen issue with hdmi (no signal).  with the elektron, just press tv-mode + 0 and it allows you to go back to auto much quicker and with greater stability.

but in its heart, its just-another-nmt, with a power button, sata and vga out.  its a bit more expensive than the pch and unless you're going gaga over sata, i'd stick with the a-100.  but then again, there's nmt 'c' :>

do come visit :>

Got my Squeezebox Classic last Thurs. from eHome. Richie and Marvin were very helpful in demoing the product and providing instructions how to set it up. Now I'm enjoying it, especially, the internet radio. Magsasawa ka sa channels and those downstreaming at 128 bit rate are almost indistinguishable from cds. The only difference is the sense of depth.

[gren]

i heard that pairing up the squeezebox with a real DAC (x-dac? :>) would improve things.  been in the market for a decent sub 400 usd dac but never got around to getting one.  in any case, something to look forward to, eh?

glad to have met you tuscany, daan nalang ulit :>

Guys:

We're offering demo-to-own/home demo arrangements for PinoyDVD members who are interested in trying out the Popcorn Hour (PCH) Networked Media Tank (NMT) in the comfort of their own homes.  If you're interested,  just leave a message here and we'll figure out how to go about doing this.

As security, we will need to screen whom we lend the units out to.  Preferences will be given to those who are referred by previous customers or longtime members of the PinoyDVD community.

We're thinking of lending the units across the weekend (Fridays to Sundays or Mondays to Fridays) to give adequate time for you to test out the PCH.

As this will be the first time we'll be doing this, we will welcome suggestions -- we want you guys to decide for yourself whether this product is for you before plunking down your hard earned cash, but at the same time, we want to make sure we don't lose the units :>  So we'll probably have the queue displayed here so we'll know who has the unit and where the next lender can get them from.

PM for details, or post your comments here -- we'll definitely welcome them.

[otepsy]

sir i would like to register. so that i can try this on my unit and also convinced my wife... hehehe

Feel free to SMS (0917 7945003) or PM me for details.  Please include your PinoyDVD username so I'll know you're from here.

For existing customers, just so you won't feel left out, we'll make sure to give you additional discounts on future purchases on add-ons or additional units :>

Do check out our multiply site at http://ehome.multiply.com for updates; we have new units coming in soon :>
