I'm from Sydney, Australia and have been involved with the WGS Forums since their inception in January 2008. I have been "playing" with digital entertainment products for the last 3 years. I run my main WHS on a recycled Dell system and Vista Media Centre on a self build with an XBOX360 extender. I am an enthusiast as opposed to a technical user.
