[QUOTE="eetaylog, post: 174142, member: 47491"] The Antec Fusion case is very nice and comes with a 430W power supply. its also very quiet, and the latest version comes with a built in IR receiver for media centre remote controls. OS - USE XP! still far too many issues with vista, and its far too power hungry on the graphics front for my liking. Memory - 1Gb Ram will be enough (i use Corsair DDR2) Mobo - id get one with a PCIe slot, as pci express TV cards are far better than standard PCI. TV card - Hauppauge novaT 500 does me just fine Processor - Definately go dual core, but if you want to use Intel, id use a core 2duo as theyre a lot cooler than their predecessors. I run my system on an AMD X2 3400+, and its pretty quick. hope this has confused you some more! ;-) [/QUOTE]
