Build a Cheap Media-Reading PC? 255

tsm_sf writes "A recent Slashdot article got me thinking about dead and dying media. I'd like to build a cheap PC with the goal of being able to read as many old formats as possible. Size and power consumption would be design considerations; priority of media formats would be primary. How would you approach such a project?"

That's largely the point - it's illegal to show a car doing any of these things, closed course or not , in an Australian advert. There was a Toyota ad where a family car drove through a city that morphed into a number of safety cones - it was banned along with others for "promoting the wrong behavior". This is part of a larger cultural move in Australia against "young hoons" and includes vehicle confiscation and license bans for minor infractions.
