Bathroom PC access

Watching Tv in your bath is not new. Most famous ppl on MTV Cribs show got widescreen Tv's in front of their hot tubs/swimming size baths. Bill Gates got LCD's in every room in his house that can control anything and everything.....

thanks for that link, I'd forgotten about blisware, at the price that is worth thinking about, for me, as I have an 'ATI All in Wonder" card that does TV, DVD etc - the extra functionality for music via the bathroom is an added extra I hadn't thought about. I don't have bathroom ceiling speakers, but the 5.1's are only 10 feet away

Fixing speakers into the bathroom, connected to another PC/amp elsewhere is a relatively easy task.

Then all you need is an Ericsson or SonyEricsson mobile with Bluetooth, a PC BT adaptor and a bit of software called PCControl. It allows you to use your mobile to control Winamp, listing all the titles in the current playlist on the phone's display. Of course you can pause, skip and alter the volume and so on aswell.

You can probably get one of the old monochrome Ericssons very cheaply on eBay now, and a USB Bluetooth adaptor will set you back about £20. Of course, the mobile won't be waterproof, but it's got all the other qualities you need -- and you can even send and receive texts and calls in the bath!

I got my ceiling speakers at CPC, specifically the Ceiling Mount 2-Way Speakers, 8-in, 30W for just £35 the pair.
