[QUOTE="d508dq, post: 40791, member: 18804"] Hi, all. I've finally taken the plunge and made a start on the HTPC to be!! Here's what I've got so far... - A Dell Optiplex GX240 (desktop, not SFF) - Samsung SP 200GB - Gigabyte NVidia FX5200 (no gaming requirements, so hopefully this'll be enough) - Hauppauge PVR-150 (retail w. remote control) Once I've seen how that lot fits together I'll investigate... - DVD RW (any suggestions for a nice quiet one?) - MediaPortal installation and configuration - More RAM (only 256MB at the moment... maybe optimistic?) - Quieting the grinding PSU fan (occasionally noticable) Any thoughts or recommendations? Any other successful PVRs / HTPCs based on Optiplex machines? Cheers all! [/QUOTE]
