[QUOTE="onkl, post: 36802, member: 11584"] Ahh, I thought you were looking for hardware selection also. On the OS: I'd take XP pro (not Home obviously) over MCE: -If it's the PC you'll work on, pro is more stable than home when you clutter your system with all kind of "handy" apps like I for one love to do. -If it's gonna be a HTPC alone, you can let it double as a media server (1 TB, just a wild guess :wink: ) and benefit from the better network options Pro offers. On the other hand, MCE might be an option to keep girlfriends/wives (singular is more probable than plural I understood) happy if you're playing around with the sometimes buggy newest CVS too often. I understood (don't use DVB myself, so not sure) that MCE needs at least one analogue card to configure the DVB tuners :?, you may want to check on that gossip first. [/QUOTE]
