[QUOTE="mm1352000, post: 782684, member: 82144"] By "tuner" I meant the "Leadtek WinFast DTV2000DS Dual HD Tuner", which is PCI. I think you must be mistaken - my current PC (which does development, testing, HTPC, office... everything) was built roughly 4 years ago. It would be very tempting, depending on prices where you are. Do you require support for 1080i playback? If so I advise you get the advice of somebody with Intel HD 3000 graphics before making a decision. 1080i h.264 playback is the top level requirement for HTPCs these days and some integrated and lower end GPUs still struggle with it. mm [/QUOTE]
