[QUOTE="wetzel402, post: 719484, member: 111042"] I am also rebuilding an old PC. First thing you need to address is what type of RAM your PC uses. Also you need to find out if your motherboard is running integrated graphics/processing as well as if you are running PCI or PCIe (express). I am starting with a little more machine as far as processor (2.8Ghz P4) but I have no idea what your graphics card/chip set is like. Building it up cheaply is actually quite easy if you find parts via ebay and pawn/flee markets. It is fun to be able say you built your own HTPC :) My only problem is finding a cheap TV tuner card that works with MP and tunes ATSC (the new digital TV standard). Currently I am eyeing a V-BOX - DT150 card for just over $50 with shipping. Hope this helps! [/QUOTE]
