Hey guys,
I've been lurking through the forum for a few days and have come up with the start to my first HTPC. I wanted to run a couple of things by all of you brilliant folks to see if you approve. I live in Canada and will be using only standard cable as my input.
This is the system i intend to put together:
Tv Tuner: ATI TV WONDER ELITE
Mother Board and CPU: ASUS m2npv-vm with a ATHLON 64 3200 and 512 mb ram
Samsung Dual Layer Multi DVD drive
300 GB Hardrive, not sure who makes the quietest one, any suggestions?
Antec Overture II Quiet Media Case with 450W power supply
oh yeah and lastly,
26" Acer LCD TV (this one i already have)
Anwho, thanks in advance for your insightful responses. I look forward to using media portal soon. Keep up the great work.
Also, if there are any Canadian users, could you let me know how hard it was to get the guide function working?
FOD
