Once it is installed can anything be done on the actual computer? Or remotely only? Can it be used as a desktop? DirectX? Home Theater PC?

There are about three basic functions of this software: 1) automatically backup all PC's/Mac's on the LAN, 2) be used as a master storage repository for files, and 3) play stored multi-media. It has Internet Explorer installed, but it's really bad practice to expose the server to the internet by using surfing from the server; better to use another computer. It has Windows Media Center installed, but the crippled version will not permit you to remotely log onto the server and play music from speakers attached to the server; you must be logged in at the server locally to do this. Finally, you cannot use the server like a corporate server hosting business applications that you simply use from the server; software licensing issues prevent this capability. See my review on this product for more info on its pros and cons.

It needs more parts installed to work as a desktop. It does not include hard-drive, processor, RAM, or any peripherals like a monitor. This is not a full system and needs to be built to do anything.

You should be able to expand your desktop, I was able to with mine. It was a complicated process, I had to download the proper drivers and change my settings, but it worked (although its an awful connection)

You can use it stand alone with a monitor and the provided mouse or remote. There is not a windows interface however you can install the remote software to a pc or iPad and administrate it from there.

You can if your entire system is compatible with your computer. I needed a tech to implement the feature.

No idea. I'm using mine for a server that runs "headless" and can be controlled remotely over the network (look up "IPMI"). I had no need to install a video card.

You probably could, not sure why you would. (XP support ended April 8th, 2014)I bet it would take some serious investigation looking into which manufacturers chips are on the board (I mean specifically -- realtek, marvell, intel, etc) and download them from their websites. Good luck. I wouldn't waste my time, but some might need it, or want to run Virtual Machine sessions.

You can use it to do just about eveything but u need a 3rd party software like incontrol home automation for it to work. It's like a hub with out the software. You do need a computer running 24/7 with the software on it they also have a app for the software also

Yes you can RDP to the computer and remote access it. If you are using Windows XP, 2007, or 8 enable remote desktop. You can also use VNC. Very easy to do.

I had a computer guy tell me it is possible... He ordered the parts, but just hasn't installed yet, so I am pretty sure.

NO, you need to install additional Hardware and Software to use it. It is just the barebones, you need to add the other layers to bring it Live!

This is just an empty box. You need to buy a motherboard (with Ethernet port) and install it in this box. Also need, power supply, disk drive, memory, dvd drive, etc., to make it work as a PC.

I believe you are only supposed to install it on one computer, but I have not tried to do so on another. Unless you use the TV as a monitor on the computer, then no on the TV.

You can connect it to hd devices like a tv, or you have to dump the video onto the computer. You cannot run from the projector to a computer screen. Sorry

You can use any computer. The configuration you use for the remote is stored "in the Logitec cloud" and can be accessed from any computer via a log-in and password.

I use my on my desktop. It was easy to install (plug it in) and the sound is good but I do not know what other things the speakers can work on. Sorry.
